Magnetic Prandtl number dependence of plasmoid-mediated reconnection

Vinay Kumar, Axel Brandenburg

We investigate the dependence of the plasmoid-mediated magnetic reconnection rate on the magnetic Prandtl number using two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations of two coales…

Primordial magnetic field from chiral plasma instability with sourcing

Murman Gurgenidze, Andrew J. Long, Alberto Roper Pol +2

In an electron-positron plasma, an imbalance in the number of right- and left-chiral particles can lead to the growth of a helical magnetic field through a phenomenon called the ch…

Resistive Scaling in the Magnetic Helicity-Driven Inverse Cascade

Jiyao Zhang, Axel Brandenburg

The inverse cascade in MHD turbulence plays a crucial role in various astrophysical processes such as galaxy cluster formation, solar and stellar dynamo mechanisms, and the evoluti…

Nonlocal Evolution of Magnetic Helicity across the Magnetohydrodynamic-Kinetic Interface

Masatomi Iizawa, Yasuhito Narita, Tommaso Alberti +6

Magnetic helicity is typically indistinguishable from noise in the solar wind inertial range. Using Parker Solar Probe measurements (0.1-0.8 au), we report a robust bihelical struc…

Importance of magnetic helicity in dynamos

A. Brandenburg

Magnetic helicity is nearly conserved and its evolution equation provides a dynamical feedback on the alpha effect that is distinct from the conventional algebraic alpha quenching.…
