Flow Crossover and Parallel Outflow during Collisionless Magnetic Reconnection
Theerasarn Pianpanit, Kittipat Malakit, Pakkapawn Prapan +5
Using particle-in-cell simulations that label ions and electrons according to their initial inflow region, we find that during 2D collisionless magnetic reconnection, the bulk flow…
Role of Parallel Solenoidal Electric Field on Energy Conversion in 2.5D Decaying Turbulence with a Guide Magnetic Field
Peera Pongkitiwanichakul, David Ruffolo, Fan Guo +5
We perform 2.5D particle-in-cell simulations of decaying turbulence in the presence of a guide (out-of-plane) background magnetic field. The fluctuating magnetic field initially co…
The Reduction of Magnetic Reconnection Outflow Jets to Sub-Alfvénic Speeds
Colby C. Haggerty, Michael A. Shay, Alexandros Chasapis +5
The outflow velocity of jets produced by collisionless magnetic reconnection is shown to be reduced by the ion exhaust temperature in simulations and observations. We derive a scal…
Kinetic signatures of the region surrounding the X-line in asymmetric (magnetopause) reconnection
M. A. Shay, T. D. Phan, C. C. Haggerty +5
Kinetic particle-in-cell simulations are used to identify signatures of the electron diffusion region (EDR) and its surroundings during asymmetric magnetic reconnection. A "shoulde…
Electron Heating During Magnetic Reconnection: A Simulation Scaling Study
M. A. Shay, C. C. Haggerty, T. D. Phan +6
Electron bulk heating during magnetic reconnection with symmetric inflow conditions is examined using kinetic particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. The degree of electron heating is…
A New Electric Field in Asymmetric Magnetic Reconnection
Kittipat Malakit, Michael A. Shay, Paul A. Cassak +1
We present a theory and numerical evidence for the existence of a previously unexplored in-plane electric field in collisionless asymmetric magnetic reconnection. This electric fie…
