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…

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…
