Electron-Scale Dynamics of the Diffusion Region during Symmetric Magnetic Reconnection in Space
R. B. Torbert, J. L. Burch, T. D. Phan +46
Magnetic reconnection is an energy conversion process important in many astrophysical contexts including the Earth's magnetosphere, where the process can be investigated in-situ. H…
Globally Distributed Energetic Neutral Atom Maps for the "Croissant" Heliosphere
Marc Kornbleuth, Merav Opher, Adam T. Michael +1
A recent study by Opher et al. (2015) suggested the heliosphere has a "croissant" shape, where the heliosheath plasma is confined by the toroidal solar magnetic field. The "croissa…
A Predicted Small and Round Heliosphere
Merav Opher, Abraham Loeb, James Drake +1
The shape of the solar wind bubble within the interstellar medium, the so-called heliosphere, has been explored over six decades. As the Sun moves through the surrounding partially…
The Reduction of Magnetic Reconnection Outflow Jets to Sub-Alfvénic Speeds
Colby C. Haggerty, Michael A. Shay, Alexandros Chasapis +5
The outflow velocity of jets produced by collisionless magnetic reconnection is shown to be reduced by the ion exhaust temperature in simulations and observations. We derive a scal…
