Particle acceleration by magnetic reconnection in geospace
Mitsuo Oka, Joachim Birn, Jan Egedal +7
Particles are accelerated to very high, non-thermal energies during explosive energy-release phenomena in space, solar, and astrophysical plasma environments. While it has been est…
Wave generation and energetic electron scattering in solar flares
Hanqing Ma, James F. Drake, Marc Swisdak
We conduct two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations to investigate the scattering of electron heat flux by self-generated oblique electromagnetic waves. The heat flux is modele…
The Role of Magnetic Shear in Reconnection-Driven Flare Energy Release
J. Qiu, M. Alaoui, S. K. Antiochos +6
Using observations from the Solar Dynamics Observatory's Atmosphere Imaging Assembly and the Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager, we present novel measurements of the she…
Development of a structured, turbulent solar wind as a result of interchange reconnection
J. F. Drake, S. D. Bale, M. Swisdak +2
The role of interchange reconnection as a drive mechanism for the solar wind is explored by solving the global magnetic-field-aligned equations describing wind acceleration. Bounda…
Quantifying the Energy Budget in the Solar Wind from 13.3-100 Solar Radii
J. S. Halekas, S. D. Bale, M. Berthomier +10
A variety of energy sources, ranging from dynamic processes like magnetic reconnection and waves to quasi-steady terms like the plasma pressure, may contribute to the acceleration…
Quantifying Energy Release in Solar Flares and Solar Eruptive Events: New Frontiers with a Next-Generation Solar Radio Facility
Bin Chen, Dale E. Gary, Sijie Yu +16
Solar flares and the often associated solar eruptive events serve as an outstanding laboratory to study the magnetic reconnection and the associated energy release and conversion p…
