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…

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…
