Electron Acceleration during Macroscale Magnetic Reconnection
Harry Arnold, James Drake, Marc Swisdak +8
The first self-consistent simulations of electron acceleration during magnetic reconnection in a macroscale system are presented. Consistent with solar flare observations the spect…
Switchbacks as signatures of magnetic flux ropes generated by interchange reconnection in the corona
J. F. Drake, O. Agapitov, M. Swisdak +10
The structure of magnetic flux ropes injected into the solar wind during reconnection in the coronal atmosphere is explored with particle-in-cell simulations and compared with in s…
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…
Whistler-regulated MHD: Transport equations for electron thermal conduction in the high intracluster medium of galaxy clusters
J. F. Drake, C. Pfrommer, C. S. Reynolds +6
Transport equations for electron thermal energy in the high intracluster medium (ICM) are developed that include scattering from both classical collisions and self-generated…
Noise-Induced Magnetic Field Saturation in Kinetic Simulations
J. Juno, M. Swisdak, J. M. TenBarge +2
Monte Carlo methods are often employed to numerically integrate kinetic equations, such as the particle-in-cell method for the plasma kinetic equation, but these methods suffer fro…
