Major Scientific Challenges and Opportunities in Understanding Magnetic Reconnection and Related Explosive Phenomena in Solar and Heliospheric Plasmas
H. Ji, J. Karpen, A. Alt +105
Magnetic reconnection underlies many explosive phenomena in the heliosphere and in laboratory plasmas. The new research capabilities in theory/simulations, observations, and labora…
Three-Dimensional Stability of Current Sheets Supported by Electron Pressure Anisotropy
Ari Le, Adam Stanier, Bill Daughton +4
The stability of electron current sheets embedded within the reconnection exhaust is studied with a 3D fully kinetic particle-in-cell simulation. The electron current layers studie…
Two-Stage Bulk Electron Heating in the Diffusion Region of Anti-Parallel Symmetric Reconnection
Ari Le, Jan Egedal, William Daughton
Electron bulk energization in the diffusion region during anti-parallel symmetric reconnection entails two stages. First, the inflowing electrons are adiabatically trapped and ener…
Spacecraft observations and analytic theory of crescent-shaped electron distributions in asymmetric magnetic reconnection
J. Egedal, A. Le, W. Daughton +8
Supported by a kinetic simulation, we derive an exclusion energy parameter providing a lower kinetic energy bound for an electron to cross from one inflow region to the…
