First-Principles Theory of the Rate of Magnetic Reconnection in Magnetospheric and Solar Plasmas
Yi-Hsin Liu, Paul Cassak, Xiaocan Li +3
The rate of magnetic reconnection is of the utmost importance in a variety of processes because it controls, for example, the rate energy is released in solar flares, the speed of…

Fast Magnetic Reconnection induced by Resistivity Gradients in 2D Magnetohydrodynamics
Shan-Chang Lin, Yi-Hsin Liu, Xiaocan Li
Using 2-dimensional (2D) magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) simulations, we show that Petschek-type magnetic reconnection can be induced using a simple resistivity gradient in the reconnec…
