Electron Heating During Magnetic Reconnection: A Simulation Scaling Study
M. A. Shay, C. C. Haggerty, T. D. Phan +6
Electron bulk heating during magnetic reconnection with symmetric inflow conditions is examined using kinetic particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. The degree of electron heating is…
Dynamics of double layers, ion acceleration and heat flux suppression during solar flares
T. C. Li, J. F. Drake, M. Swisdak
Observations of flare-heated electrons in the corona typically suggest confinement of electrons. The confinement mechanism, however, remains unclear. The transport of coronal hot e…
The Mechanisms of Electron Heating and Acceleration during Magnetic Reconnection
J. T. Dahlin, J. F. Drake, M. Swisdak
The heating of electrons in collisionless magnetic reconnection is explored in particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations with non-zero guide fields so that electrons remain magnetized. In…
The Onset of Ion Heating During Magnetic Reconnection with a Strong Guide Field
J. F. Drake, M. Swisdak
The onset of the acceleration of ions during magnetic reconnection is explored via particle-in-cell simulations in the limit of a strong ambient guide field that self-consistently…
Coronal Electron Confinement by Double Layers
T. C. Li, J. F. Drake, M. Swisdak
In observations of flare-heated electrons in the solar corona, a longstanding problem is the unexplained prolonged lifetime of the electrons compared to their transit time across t…
On the 3-D structure and dissipation of reconnection-driven flow-bursts
J. F. Drake, M. Swisdak, P. A. Cassak +1
The structure of magnetic reconnection-driven outflows and their dissipation are explored with large-scale, 3-D particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. Outflow jets resulting from 3-D…
