Space Plasma Physics: A Review
Bruce T. Tsurutani, Gary P. Zank, Veerle J. Sterken +13
Owing to the ever-present solar wind, our vast solar system is full of plasmas. The turbulent solar wind, together with sporadic solar eruptions, introduces various space plasma pr…
Electron dynamics surrounding the X-line in asymmetric magnetic reconnection
Seiji Zenitani, Hiroshi Hasegawa, Tsugunobu Nagai
Electron dynamics surrounding the X-line in magnetopause-type asymmetric reconnection is investigated using a two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulation. We study electron propert…
Particle dynamics in the electron current layer in collisionless magnetic reconnection
Seiji Zenitani, Tsugunobu Nagai
Particle dynamics in the electron current layer in collisionless magnetic reconnection is investigated by using a particle-in-cell simulation. Electron motion and velocity distribu…
Kinetic aspects of the ion current layer in a reconnection outflow exhaust
Seiji Zenitani, Iku Shinohara, Tsugunobu Nagai +1
Kinetic aspects of the ion current layer at the center of a reconnection outflow exhaust near the X-type region are investigated by a two-dimensional particle-in-cell (PIC) simulat…
Evidence for the dissipation region in magnetotail reconnection
Seiji Zenitani, Iku Shinohara, Tsugunobu Nagai
Signatures of the dissipation region of collisionless magnetic reconnection are investigated by the Geotail spacecraft for the 15 May 2003 event. The energy dissipation in the rest…
