On the origin of "patchy" energy conversion in electron diffusion regions
Kevin J. Genestreti, Xiaocan Li, Yi-Hsin Liu +9
During magnetic reconnection, field lines interconnect in electron diffusion regions (EDRs). In some EDRs the reconnection and energy conversion rates are controlled by a steady ou…
