On the collisionless asymmetric magnetic reconnection rate
Yi-Hsin Liu, M. Hesse, P. A. Cassak +3
A prediction of the steady-state reconnection electric field in asymmetric reconnection is obtained by maximizing the reconnection rate as a function of the opening angle made by t…

A Review of the 0.1 Reconnection Rate Problem
P. A. Cassak, Y. -H. Liu, M. A. Shay
A long-standing problem in magnetic reconnection is to explain why it tends to proceed at or below a normalized rate of 0.1. This article gives a review of observational and numeri…
