New Insights on the High Reconnection Rate and the Diminishment of Ion Outflow
Cheng-Yu Fan, Shan Wang, Xu-Zhi Zhou +5
The recently discovered electron-only reconnection has drawn great interests due to abnormal features like lack of ion outflows and high reconnection rates. Using particle-in-cell…

Identification of coupled Landau and anomalous resonances in space plasmas
Jing-Huan Li, Xu-Zhi Zhou, Zhi-Yang Liu +10
Wave-particle resonance, a ubiquitous process in the plasma universe, occurs when resonant particles observe a constant wave phase to enable sustained energy transfer. Here, we pre…

Direct observations of cross-scale energy transfer in space plasmas
Jing-Huan Li, Xu-Zhi Zhou, Zhi-Yang Liu +8
The collisionless plasmas in space and astrophysical environments are intrinsically multiscale in nature, behaving as conducting fluids at macroscales and kinetically at microscale…
