Secondary Electron-Only Reconnection Driven by Large Scale Ion-Coupled Reconnection and Electron Kelvin-Helmholtz Instabilities in Hybrid Simulations of Solar Wind Turbulence

Joaquín Espinoza-Troni, Giuseppe Arrò, Francesco Califano +2

Electron-only reconnection (EREC) is a magnetic reconnection regime occurring within subion-scale current sheets (CSs), exhibiting only electron jets, without any ion outflows. ERE…
