Magnetic null points in kinetic simulations of space plasmas
Vyacheslav Olshevsky, Jan Deca, Andrey Divin +5
We present a systematic attempt to study magnetic null points and the associated magnetic energy conversion in kinetic Particle-in-Cell simulations of various plasma configurations…
On the electron dynamics during island coalescence in asymmetric magnetic reconnection
Emanuele Cazzola, Maria Elena Innocenti, Stefano Markidis +3
We present an analysis of the electron dynamics during rapid island merging in asymmetric magnetic reconnection. We consider a doubly periodic system with two asymmetric transition…
Role of Z-pinches in magnetic reconnection in space plasmas
Vyacheslav Olshevsky, Giovanni Lapenta, Stefano Markidis +1
A widely accepted scenario of magnetic reconnection in collisionless space plasmas is the breakage of magnetic field lines in X-points. In laboratory, reconnection is commonly stud…
Understanding space weather to shield society: A global road map for 2015-2025 commissioned by COSPAR and ILWS
Carolus J. Schrijver, Kirsti Kauristie, Alan D. Aylward +23
There is a growing appreciation that the environmental conditions that we call space weather impact the technological infrastructure that powers the coupled economies around the wo…
