Electron Acceleration by Multi-Island Coalescence
M. Oka, T. -D. Phan, S. Krucker +2
Energetic electrons of up to tens of MeV are created during explosive phenomena in the solar corona. While many theoretical models consider magnetic reconnection as a possible way…

`Island Surfing' Mechanism of Electron Acceleration During Magnetic Reconnection
M. Oka, M. Fujimoto, I. Shinohara +1
One of the key unresolved problems in the study of space plasmas is to explain the production of energetic electrons as magnetic field lines `reconnect' and release energy in a exp…

Magnetic Reconnection by a Self-Retreating X-Line
M. Oka, M. Fujimoto, T. K. M. Nakamura +2
Particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations of collisionless magnetic reconnection are performed to study asymmetric reconnection in which an outflow is blocked by a hard wall while leaving…
