Reconnection-Driven Energy Cascade in Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence
Chuanfei Dong, Liang Wang, Yi-Min Huang +3
Magnetohydrodynamic turbulence regulates the transfer of energy from large to small scales in many astrophysical systems, including the solar atmosphere. We perform three-dimension…
Do chaotic field lines cause fast reconnection in coronal loops?
Yi-Min Huang, Amitava Bhattacharjee
Over the past decade, Boozer has argued that three-dimensional (3D) magnetic reconnection fundamentally differs from two-dimensional (2D) reconnection due to the fact that the sepa…
A novel kinetic mechanism for the onset of fast magnetic reconnection and plasmoid instabilities in collisionless plasmas
W. Fox, G. Fiksel, D. B. Schaeffer +9
Magnetic reconnection can explosively release magnetic energy when opposing magnetic fields merge and annihilate through a current sheet, driving plasma jets and accelerating non-t…
Vacuum magnetic fields with exact quasisymmetry near a flux surface. Part 1: Solutions near an axisymmetric surface
Wrick Sengupta, Elizabeth J. Paul, Harold Weitzner +1
While several results have pointed to the existence of exactly quasisymmetric fields on a surface (Garren & Boozer 1991a,b; Plunk & Helander 2018), we have obtained the first such…
Compressional Alfvén eigenmodes excited by runaway electrons
Chang Liu, Dylan P. Brennan, Andrey Lvovskiy +3
Compressional Alfvén eigenmodes (CAE) driven by energetic ions have been observed in magnetic fusion experiments. In this paper, we show that the modes can also be driven by runawa…
Observations and modeling of the onset of fast reconnection in the solar transition region
L. -J. Guo, B. De Pontieu, Y. -M. Huang +2
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental plasma process that plays a critical role not only in energy release in the solar atmosphere, but also in fusion, astrophysical, and other sp…
