Evolution and Impact of Switchbacks Throughout the Heliosphere
Alfred Mallet, Chen Shi, Anna Tenerani +23
Magnetic switchbacks are large-amplitude fluctuations in the interplanetary magnetic field, and appear frequently in the near-Sun solar wind explored recently by Parker Solar Probe…
The impact of Alfvenic shear flow on magnetic reconnection and turbulence
Tamar Ervin, Alfred Mallet, Stefan Eriksson +9
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental and omnipresent energy conversion process in plasma physics. Novel observations of fields and particles from Parker Solar Probe (PSP) have sh…
Suppression of the collisionless tearing mode by flow shear: implications for reconnection onset in the Alfvénic solar wind
A. Mallet, S. Eriksson, M. Swisdak +1
We analyse the collisionless tearing mode instability of a current sheet with a strong shear flow across the layer. The growth rate decreases with increasing shear flow, and is com…
The Interplay Between Collisionless Magnetic Reconnection and Turbulence
J. E. Stawarz, P. A. Muñoz, N. Bessho +13
Alongside magnetic reconnection, turbulence is another fundamental nonlinear plasma phenomenon that plays a key role in energy transport and conversion in space and astrophysical p…
Advanced methods for analyzing in-situ observations of magnetic reconnection
H. Hasegawa, M. R. Argall, N. Aunai +33
There is ample evidence for magnetic reconnection in the solar system, but it is a nontrivial task to visualize, to determine the proper approaches and frames to study, and in turn…
Major Scientific Challenges and Opportunities in Understanding Magnetic Reconnection and Related Explosive Phenomena in Solar and Heliospheric Plasmas
H. Ji, J. Karpen, A. Alt +105
Magnetic reconnection underlies many explosive phenomena in the heliosphere and in laboratory plasmas. The new research capabilities in theory/simulations, observations, and labora…
