Major Scientific Challenges and Opportunities in Understanding Magnetic Reconnection and Related Explosive Phenomena in Solar and Heliospheric Plasmas
H. Ji, J. Karpen, A. Alt +105
Magnetic reconnection underlies many explosive phenomena in the heliosphere and in laboratory plasmas. The new research capabilities in theory/simulations, observations, and labora…
Nanoflare Theory Revisited
Amir Jafari, Ethan Vishniac, Siyao Xu
Local magnetic reversals are an inseparable part of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence whose collective outcome on an arbitrary scale in the inertial range may lead to a global s…
Power and spatial complexity in stochastic reconnection
Amir Jafari, Ethan Vishniac, Vignesh Vaikundaraman
The level of spatial complexity associated with a given vector field on an arbitrary range of scales \iffalse can be quantified by a simple, time-dependent function…
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.
3D Turbulent Reconnection: Theory, Tests and Astrophysical Implications
Alex Lazarian, Gregory L. Eyink, Amir Jafari +4
Magnetic reconnection, topological change in magnetic fields, is a fundamental process in magnetized plasmas. It is associated with energy release in regions of magnetic field anni…
