Outstanding questions and future research of magnetic reconnection
R. Nakamura, J. L. Burch, J. Birn +22
This short article highlights the unsolved problems of magnetic reconnection in collisionless plasma. The advanced in-situ plasma measurements and simulations enabled scientists to…
Ohm's Law, the Reconnection Rate, and Energy Conversion in Collisionless Magnetic Reconnection
Yi-Hsin Liu, Michael Hesse, Kevin Genestreti +12
Magnetic reconnection is a ubiquitous plasma process that transforms magnetic energy into particle energy during eruptive events throughout the universe. Reconnection not only conv…
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 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.
