The impact of Alfvenic shear flow on magnetic reconnection and turbulence
Tamar Ervin, Alfred Mallet, Stefan Eriksson +9
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental and omnipresent energy conversion process in plasma physics. Novel observations of fields and particles from Parker Solar Probe (PSP) have sh…
The effect of shear flow on the resistive tearing instability
Alfred Mallet, Stefan Eriksson, Marc Swisdak +1
We develop a new scaling theory for the resistive tearing mode instability of a current sheet with a strong shear flow across the layer. The growth rate decreases with increasing f…
Suppression of the collisionless tearing mode by flow shear: implications for reconnection onset in the Alfvénic solar wind
A. Mallet, S. Eriksson, M. Swisdak +1
We analyse the collisionless tearing mode instability of a current sheet with a strong shear flow across the layer. The growth rate decreases with increasing shear flow, and is com…
Magnetospheric Multiscale Dayside Reconnection Electron Diffusion Region Events
J. M. Webster, J. L. Burch, P. H. Reiff +21
We have used the high-resolution data of the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission dayside phase to identify twenty-one previously unreported encounters with the electron diffusi…
