Laboratory Study of Collisionless Magnetic Reconnection

H. Ji, J. Yoo, W. Fox +13

A concise review is given on the past two decades' results from laboratory experiments on collisionless magnetic reconnection in direct relation with space measurements, especially…

Soft X-ray imaging of Earth's dayside magnetosheath and cusps using hybrid simulations

J. Ng, B. M. Walsh, L. -J. Chen +1

Interactions between solar wind ions and neutral hydrogen atoms in Earth's exosphere can lead to the emission of soft X-rays. Upcoming missions such as SMILE and LEXI aim to use so…

Hybrid simulations of the cusp and dayside magnetosheath dynamics under \ quasi-radial interplanetary magnetic fields

J. Ng, L. J. Chen, Y. Omelchenko +2

Under quasi-radial interplanetary magnetic fields (IMF), foreshock turbulence can have an impact on the magnetosheath and cusps depending on the location of the quasi-parallel shoc…

Electron-scale reconnection in three-dimensional shock turbulence

J. Ng, L. -J. Chen, N. Bessho +3

Magnetic reconnection has been observed in the transition region of quasi-parallel shocks. In this work, the particle-in-cell method is used to simulate three-dimensional reconnect…

Bursty magnetic reconnection at the Earth's magnetopause triggered by high-speed jets

J. Ng, L. -J. Chen, Y. Omelchenko

The impact of high-speed jets -- dynamic pressure enhancements in the magnetosheath -- on the Earth's magnetopause has been observed to trigger local magnetic reconnection. We perf…

Magnetopause reconnection and indents induced by foreshock turbulence

Li-Jen Chen, Jonathan Ng, Yuri Omelchenko +1

Based on global hybrid simulation results, we predict that foreshock turbulence can reach the magnetopause and lead to reconnection as well as Earth-sized indents. Both the interpl…
