Magnetic switchback formation: a review of proposed mechanisms
Peter F. Wyper, Jonathan Squire, Etienne Pariat +19
Magnetic switchbacks are large amplitude deflections of the magnetic field within the solar wind. They are Alfvénic in character and so are associated with a spike in velocity and…
The Maximum Particle Energy Gain During Magnetic Reconnection
Zhiyu Yin, Harry Arnold, James F Drake +1
The factors that control the maximum energy attained by protons and electrons during magnetic reconnection are investigated analytically and using large-scale simulations with the…
Thermodynamics of Shear Equilibration During Magnetic Reconnection Onset in Mixed-Equilibrium Current Sheets
Dominic Payne, Marc Swisdak, James Drake +1
Magnetic shear across the polarity inversion line (PIL) plays an important role in the explosive nature of reconnection onset and in the equilibration of current sheets, acting as…
Probing Proton versus Electron Heating and Energization during Magnetic Reconnection
Zhiyu Yin, James F. Drake, Marc Swisdak
The mechanisms controlling the relative heating and energization of electrons and protons during magnetic reconnection are explored. Simulations are carried out with the kglobal mo…
Simultaneous Proton and Electron Energization during Macroscale Magnetic Reconnection
Zhiyu Yin, James F. Drake, Marc Swisdak
The results of simulations of magnetic reconnection accompanied by electron and proton heating and energization in a macroscale system are presented. Both species form extended pow…
Simulation Models for Exploring Magnetic Reconnection
Michael Shay, Subash Adhikari, Naoki Beesho +22
Simulations have played a critical role in the advancement of our knowledge of magnetic reconnection. However, due to the inherently multiscale nature of reconnection, it is imposs…
