Forecasting a Coronal Mass Ejection's Altered Trajectory: ForeCAT
Christina Kay, Merav Opher, Rebekah M. Evans
To predict whether a coronal mass ejection (CME) will impact Earth, the effects of the background on the CME's trajectory must be taken into account. We develop a model, ForeCAT (F…
Influence of the dissipation mechanism on collisionless magnetic reconnection in symmetric and asymmetric current layers
Nicolas Aunai, Michael Hesse, Carrie Black +2
Numerical studies implementing different versions of the collisionless Ohm's law have shown a reconnection rate insensitive to the nature of the non-ideal mechanism occuring at the…
Comparison between hybrid and fully kinetic models of asymmetric magnetic reconnection: coplanar and guide field configurations
Nicolas Aunai, Michael Hesse, Seiji Zenitani +4
Magnetic reconnection occurring in collisionless environments is a multi-scale process involving both ion and electron kinetic processes. Because of their small mass, the electron…
