The island coalescence problem: scaling of reconnection in extended fluid models including higher-order moments
Jonathan Ng, Yi-Min Huang, Ammar Hakim +5
As modeling of collisionless magnetic reconnection in most space plasmas with realistic parameters is beyond the capability of today's simulations, due to the separation between gl…
Efficient Production of High-energy Nonthermal Particles during Magnetic Reconnection in a Magnetically-dominated Ion-Electron Plasma
Fan Guo, Xiaocan Li, Hui Li +6
Magnetic reconnection is a leading mechanism for dissipating magnetic energy and accelerating nonthermal particles in Poynting-flux dominated flows. In this letter, we investigate…
Fluid vs. kinetic magnetic reconnection with strong guide-fields
A. Stanier, Andrei N. Simakov, L. Chacon +1
The fast rates of magnetic reconnection found in both nature and experiments are important to understand theoretically. Recently, it was demonstrated that two-fluid magnetic reconn…
Double layer electric fields aiding the production of energetic flat-top distributions and superthermal electrons within the exhausts from magnetic reconnection
Jan Egedal, William Daughton, Ari Le +1
Using a kinetic simulation of magnetic reconnection it was recently shown that magnetic-field-aligned electric fields (E||) can be present over large spatial scales in reconnection…
Particle Acceleration and Plasma Dynamics during Magnetic Reconnection in the Magnetically-dominated Regime
Fan Guo, Yi-Hsin Liu, William Daughton +1
Magnetic reconnection is thought to be the driver for many explosive phenomena in the universe. The energy release and particle acceleration during reconnection have been proposed…
