Strongly localized magnetic reconnection by the super-Alfvenic shear flow
Yi-Hsin Liu, Michael Hesse, Fan Guo +2
We demonstrate the dragging of the magnetic field by the super-Alfvenic shear flows out of the reconnection plane can strongly localize the reconnection x-line in collisionless pla…

Orientation and stability of asymmetric magnetic reconnection x-line
Yi-Hsin Liu, Michael Hesse, Tak Chu Li +2
The orientation and stability of the reconnection x-line in asymmetric geometry is studied using three-dimensional (3D) particle-in-cell simulations. We initiate reconnection at th…

The Physical Foundation of the Reconnection Electric Field
M. Hesse, Y. -H. Liu, L. -J. Chen +8
We report on computer simulations and analytic theory to provide a self-consistent understanding of the role of the reconnection electric field, which extends substantially beyond…
