Particle-in-cell simulation study of the scaling of asymmetric magnetic reconnection with in-plane flow shear
C. E. Doss, P. A. Cassak, M. Swisdak
We investigate magnetic reconnection in systems simultaneously containing asymmetric (anti-parallel) magnetic fields, asymmetric plasma densities and temperatures, and arbitrary in…
Parallel electric fields are inefficient drivers of energetic electrons in magnetic reconnection
J. T. Dahlin, J. F. Drake, M. Swisdak
We present two-dimensional kinetic simulations, with a broad range of initial guide fields, that isolate the role of parallel electric fields () in energetic electron…
Suppression of electron thermal conduction in the high intracluster medium of galaxy clusters
G. T. Roberg-Clark, J. F. Drake, C. S. Reynolds +1
Understanding the thermodynamic state of the hot intracluster medium (ICM) in a galaxy cluster requires a knowledge of the plasma transport processes, especially thermal conduction…
The Effects of Turbulence on Three-Dimensional Magnetic Reconnection at the Magnetopause
L. Price, M. Swisdak, J. F. Drake +3
Two- and three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations of a recent encounter of the Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission (MMS) with an electron diffusion region at the magnetopause a…
Kinetic signatures of the region surrounding the X-line in asymmetric (magnetopause) reconnection
M. A. Shay, T. D. Phan, C. C. Haggerty +5
Kinetic particle-in-cell simulations are used to identify signatures of the electron diffusion region (EDR) and its surroundings during asymmetric magnetic reconnection. A "shoulde…
