Local regimes of turbulence in 3D magnetic reconnection

G. Lapenta, F. Pucci, M. V. Goldman +1

The process of magnetic reconnection when studied in Nature or when modeled in 3D simulations differs in one key way from the standard 2D paradigmatic cartoon: it is accompanied by…

Characterizing magnetic reconnection regions using Gaussian mixture models on particle velocity distributions

Romain Dupuis, Martin V. Goldman, David L. Newman +2

We present a method based on unsupervised machine learning to identify regions of interest using particle velocity distributions as a signature pattern. An automatic density estima…

A violin sonata for reconnection

G. Lapenta, F. Pucci, M. V. Goldman +1

The process of magnetic reconnection when studied in Nature or when modeled in 3D simulations differs in one key way from the standard 2D paradigmatic cartoon: it is accompanied by…

Generation of turbulence in colliding reconnection jets

F. Pucci, W. H. Matthaeus, A. Chasapis +6

The collision of magnetic reconnection jets is studied by means of a three dimensional numerical simulation at kinetic scale, in the presence of a strong guide field. We show that…

Non-linear Waves and Instabilities Leading to Secondary Reconnection in Reconnection Outflows

Giovanni Lapenta, Francesco Pucci, Vyacheslav Olshevsky +4

Reconnection outflows are regions of intense recent scrutiny, from in situ observations and from simulations. These regions are host to a variety of instabilities and intense energ…

Energy exchanges in reconnection outflows

Giovanni Lapenta, Martin V. Goldman, Davd L. Newman +1

Reconnection outflows are highly energetic directed flows that interact with the ambient plasma or with flows from other reconnection regions. Under these conditions the flow becom…
