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…

Why does steady-state magnetic reconnection have a maximum local rate of order 0.1?
Yi-Hsin Liu, M. Hesse, F. Guo +4
Simulations suggest collisionless steady-state magnetic reconnection of Harris-type current sheets proceeds with a rate of order 0.1, independent of dissipation mechanism. We argue…

A New Electric Field in Asymmetric Magnetic Reconnection
Kittipat Malakit, Michael A. Shay, Paul A. Cassak +1
We present a theory and numerical evidence for the existence of a previously unexplored in-plane electric field in collisionless asymmetric magnetic reconnection. This electric fie…
