Magnetic null points in kinetic simulations of space plasmas
Vyacheslav Olshevsky, Jan Deca, Andrey Divin +5
We present a systematic attempt to study magnetic null points and the associated magnetic energy conversion in kinetic Particle-in-Cell simulations of various plasma configurations…
Role of Z-pinches in magnetic reconnection in space plasmas
Vyacheslav Olshevsky, Giovanni Lapenta, Stefano Markidis +1
A widely accepted scenario of magnetic reconnection in collisionless space plasmas is the breakage of magnetic field lines in X-points. In laboratory, reconnection is commonly stud…
Energy dissipation in magnetic null points at kinetic scales
Vyacheslav Olshevsky, Andrey Divin, Elin Eriksson +2
We use kinetic particle-in-cell and magnetohydrodynamic simulations supported by an observational dataset to investigate magnetic reconnection in clusters of null points in space p…
