The structure of the magnetic reconnection exhaust boundary
Yi-Hsin Liu, J. F. Drake, M. Swisdak
The structure of shocks that form at the exhaust boundaries during collisionless reconnection of anti-parallel fields is studied using particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations and modeli…

The Acceleration of Ions in Solar Flares During Magnetic Reconnection
Kalman Knizhnik, Marc Swisdak, James F. Drake
The acceleration of solar flare ions during magnetic reconnection is explored via particle-in-cell simulations that self-consistently follow the motions of both protons and par…

The effects of strong temperature anisotropy on the kinetic structure of collisionless slow shocks and reconnection exhausts. Part II: Theory
Yi-Hsin Liu, J. F. Drake, M. Swisdak
Simulations of collisionless oblique propagating slow shocks have revealed the existence of a transition associated with a critical temperature anisotropy epsilon=1-mu_0(P_parallel…
