Parallel electric fields are inefficient drivers of energetic electrons in magnetic reconnection
J. T. Dahlin, J. F. Drake, M. Swisdak
We present two-dimensional kinetic simulations, with a broad range of initial guide fields, that isolate the role of parallel electric fields () in energetic electron…

Kinetic signatures of the region surrounding the X-line in asymmetric (magnetopause) reconnection
M. A. Shay, T. D. Phan, C. C. Haggerty +5
Kinetic particle-in-cell simulations are used to identify signatures of the electron diffusion region (EDR) and its surroundings during asymmetric magnetic reconnection. A "shoulde…
