Identification of active magnetic reconnection using magnetic flux transport in plasma turbulence
Tak Chu Li, Yi-Hsin Liu, Yi Qi
Magnetic reconnection has been suggested to play an important role in the dynamics and energetics of plasma turbulence by spacecraft observations, simulations and theory over the p…
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…
Scaling of magnetic reconnection in relativistic collisionless plasmas
Yi-Hsin Liu, Fan Guo, William Daughton +2
Using fully kinetic simulations, we study the scaling of the inflow speed of collisionless magnetic reconnection from the non-relativistic to ultra-relativistic limit. In the anti-…
Formation of Hard Power-laws in the Energetic Particle Spectra Resulting from Relativistic Magnetic Reconnection
Fan Guo, Hui Li, William Daughton +1
Using fully kinetic simulations, we demonstrate that magnetic reconnection in relativistic plasmas is highly efficient at accelerating particles through a first-order Fermi process…
