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…
A computational model for exploring particle acceleration during reconnection in macro-scale systems
J. F. Drake, H. Arnold, M. Swisdak +1
A new computational model is presented suitable for exploring the self-consistent production of energetic electrons during magnetic reconnection in macroscale systems. The equation…
A model of the heliosphere with jets
J. F. Drake, M. Swisdak, M. Opher
An analytic model of the heliosheath (HS) between the termination shock (TS) and the heliopause (HP) is developed in the limit in which the interstellar flow and magnetic field are…
On the Rotation of the Magnetic Field Across the Heliopause
Merav Opher, James F. Drake
There was an expectation that the magnetic field direction would rotate dramatically across the heliopause (HP). This rotation was used as one of the criteria to determine if Voyag…
A Porous, Layered Heliopause
M. Swisdak, J. F. Drake, M. Opher
The picture of the heliopause (HP) -- the boundary between the domains of the sun and the local interstellar medium (LISM) -- as a pristine interface with a large rotation in the m…
