First-Principles Theory of the Rate of Magnetic Reconnection in Magnetospheric and Solar Plasmas
Yi-Hsin Liu, Paul Cassak, Xiaocan Li +3
The rate of magnetic reconnection is of the utmost importance in a variety of processes because it controls, for example, the rate energy is released in solar flares, the speed of…
Major Scientific Challenges and Opportunities in Understanding Magnetic Reconnection and Related Explosive Phenomena in Solar and Heliospheric Plasmas
H. Ji, J. Karpen, A. Alt +105
Magnetic reconnection underlies many explosive phenomena in the heliosphere and in laboratory plasmas. The new research capabilities in theory/simulations, observations, and labora…
Major Scientific Challenges and Opportunities in Understanding Magnetic Reconnection and Related Explosive Phenomena throughout the Universe
H. Ji, A. Alt, S. Antiochos +97
This white paper summarizes major scientific challenges and opportunities in understanding magnetic reconnection and related explosive phenomena as a fundamental plasma process.
Multi-scale coupling during magnetopause reconnection: the interface between the electron and ion diffusion regions
K. J. Genestreti, Y. -H. Liu, T. -D. Phan +15
Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) encountered the primary low-latitude magnetopause reconnection site when the inter-spacecraft separation exceeded the upstream ion inertial length.…
Electron-Scale Dynamics of the Diffusion Region during Symmetric Magnetic Reconnection in Space
R. B. Torbert, J. L. Burch, T. D. Phan +46
Magnetic reconnection is an energy conversion process important in many astrophysical contexts including the Earth's magnetosphere, where the process can be investigated in-situ. H…
How accurately can we measure the reconnection rate for the MMS diffusion region event of 2017-07-11?
Kevin J. Genestreti, Takuma Nakamura, Rumi Nakamura +8
We investigate the accuracy with which the reconnection electric field can be determined from in-situ plasma data. We study the magnetotail electron diffusion region observed…
