Three-dimensional simulations of the orientation and structure of reconnection X-lines
R. Schreier, M. Swisdak, J. F. Drake +1
This work employs Hall magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations to study the X-lines formed during the reconnection of magnetic fields with differing strengths and orientations embedd…

Electron Holes and Heating in the Reconnection Dissipation Region
H. Che, J. F. Drake, M. Swisdak +1
Using particle-in-cell simulations and kinetic theory, we explore the current-driven turbulence and associated electron heating in the dissipation region during 3D magnetic reconne…

The Vector Direction of the Interstellar Magnetic Field Outside the Heliosphere
M. Swisdak, M. Opher, J. F. Drake +1
We propose that magnetic reconnection at the heliopause only occurs where the interstellar magnetic field points nearly anti-parallel to the heliospheric field. By using large-scal…
