Sub-Grid-Scale Description of Turbulent Magnetic Reconnection in Magnetohydrodynamics
Fabien Widmer, Jörg Büchner, Nobumitsu Yokoi
Magnetic reconnection requires, at least locally, a non-ideal plasma response. In collisionless space and astrophysical plasmas, turbulence could permit this instead of the too rar…

Gyrokinetic and kinetic particle-in-cell simulations of guide-field reconnection. I: Macroscopic effects of the electron flows
P. A. Muñoz, D. Told, P. Kilian +2
In this work, we compare gyrokinetic (GK) and fully kinetic Particle-in-Cell (PIC) simulations of magnetic reconnection in the limit of strong guide field. In particular, we analyz…

Instabilities of collisionless current sheets revisited: the role of anisotropic heating
P. A. Muñoz, P. Kilian, J. Büchner
In this work, we investigate the influence of the anisotropic heating on the spontaneous instability and evolution of thin Harris-type collisionless current sheets, embedded in ant…
