In situ Evidence of Breaking the Ion Frozen-in Condition via the Non-gyrotropic Pressure Effect in Magnetic Reconnection
Lei Dai, Chi Wang, Vassilis Angelopoulos +1
For magnetic reconnection to proceed, the frozen-in condition for both ion fluid and electron fluid in a localized diffusion region must be violated by inertial effects, thermal pr…

Collisionless Magnetic Reconnection via Alfven Eigenmodes
Lei Dai
We propose an analytic approach to the problem of collisionless magnetic reconnection formulated as a process of Alfven eigenmodes' generation and dissipation. Alfven eigenmodes ar…
