Vlasov simulations of collisionless magnetic reconnection without background density
H. Schmitz, R. Grauer
A standard starting point for the simulation of collisionless reconnection is the Harris equilibrium which is made up of a current sheet that separates two regions of opposing magn…

Kinetic Vlasov Simulations of collisionless magnetic Reconnection
H. Schmitz, R. Grauer
A fully kinetic Vlasov simulation of the Geospace Environment Modeling (GEM) Magnetic Reconnection Challenge is presented. Good agreement is found with previous kinetic simulations…
