System Size Dependence of Collisionless Reconnection Rate
Yi-Min Huang, Naoki Bessho, Li-Jen Chen +2
It is a widely accepted paradigm that collisionless magnetic reconnection proceeds at a universal fast rate of when normalized to a properly defined reconnecting magnetic…
Kinetic simulations underestimate the effects of waves during magnetic reconnection
J. Ng, J. Yoo, L. -J. Chen +2
Collisionless plasma systems are often studied using fully kinetic simulations, where protons and electrons are treated as particles. Due to their computational expense, it is nece…
Observation of O+ Characteristics During the Terrestrial Alfvén Wing State Induced by the April 2023 Coronal Mass Ejection
Haoming Liang, Li-Jen Chen, Stephen A. Fuselier +7
We report Magnetospheric Multiscale observations of oxygen ions (O+) during a coronal mass ejection in April 2023 when the solar wind was sub-Alfvénic and Alfvén wings formed. Fo…
Interaction of the Prominence Plasma within the Magnetic Cloud of an ICME with the Earth's Bow Shock
Hadi Madanian, Li-Jen Chen, Jonathan Ng +5
The magnetic cloud within an interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) is characterized by high magnetic field intensities. In this study, we investigate the interaction of a mag…
