Velocity space origins of pressure-strain interaction in multi-population distributions and its application to magnetic reconnection
M. Hasan Barbhuiya, Paul A. Cassak, Sarah Conley +7
A forefront research question is how energy evolves in weakly collisional plasmas for which departures from local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) are significant. The standard appr…

Investigating the Dependence of Normalized Reconnection Rate on Upstream Plasma Parameters
S. V. Heuer, K. J. Genestreti, Y. -H Liu +4
We present the results of a multi-event study of the normalized reconnection rate integrating events spanning the three primary regimes of reconnection observed by the Magnetospher…
