Radiative PIC simulations of relativistic pair plasma: multiple interacting current sheets and turbulent evolution
Fulvia Pucci, Elena Amato, Dario Borgogno +5
Two-dimensional relativistic particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations of radiative magnetic reconnection in pair plasmas with multiple interacting current sheets are carried out to mimic…
Applications of Fast Magnetic Reconnection Models to the Atmospheres of the Sun and Protoplanetary Disks
Fulvia Pucci, Alkendra Singh, Uma Gorti +4
Partially-ionized plasmas consist of charged and neutral particles whose mutual collisions modify magnetic reconnection compared with the fully-ionized case. The collisions alter t…
Transition region from turbulent to dead zone in protoplanetary disks: local shearing box simulations
Fulvia Pucci, Kengo Tomida, James Stone +3
The dynamical evolution of protoplanetary disks is of key interest for building a comprehensive theory of planet formation and to explain the observational properties of these obje…
Oblique tearing mode instability: guide field and Hall effect
Chen Shi, Marco Velli, Fulvia Pucci +2
The tearing mode instability is one important mechanism that may explain the triggering of fast magnetic reconnection in astrophysical plasmas such as the solar corona and the Eart…
Tearing modes in partially ionized plasmas
Fulvia Pucci, K. Alkendra P. Singh, Anna Tenerani +1
In many astrophysical environments the plasma is only partially ionized, and therefore the interaction of charged and neutral particles may alter both the triggering of reconnectio…
Dynamic evolution of current sheets, ideal tearing, plasmoid formation and generalized fractal reconnection scaling relations
Alkendra Singh, Fulvia Pucci, Anna Tenerani +3
Magnetic reconnection may be the fundamental process allowing energy stored in magnetic fields to be released abruptly, solar flares and coronal mass ejection (CME) being archetypa…
Properties of turbulence in the reconnection exhaust: numerical simulations compared with observations
F. Pucci, S. Servidio, L. Sorriso-Valvo +6
The properties of the turbulence which develops in the outflows of magnetic reconnection have been investigated using self-consistent plasma simulations, in three dimensions. As co…
Onset of fast "ideal" tearing in thin current sheets: dependence on the equilibrium current profile
Fulvia Pucci, Marco Velli, Anna Tenerani +1
In this paper we study the scaling relations for the triggering of the fast, or "ideal", tearing instability starting from equilibrium configurations relevant to astrophysical as w…
Fast Magnetic Reconnection: "Ideal" Tearing and the Hall Effect
Fulvia Pucci, Marco Velli, Anna Tenerani
One of the main questions in magnetic reconnection is the origin of triggering behavior with on/off properties that accounts, once it is activated, for the fast magnetic energy con…
"Ideally" unstable current sheets and the triggering of fast magnetic reconnection
Anna Tenerani, Marco Velli, Fulvia Pucci +2
Magnetic reconnection is thought to be the dynamical mechanism underlying many explosive phenomena observed both in space and in the laboratory, though the question of how fast mag…
The "ideal" tearing mode: theory and resistive MHD simulations
L. Del Zanna, S. Landi, E. Papini +2
Classical MHD reconnection theories, both the stationary Sweet-Parker model and the tearing instability, are known to provide rates which are too slow to explain the observations.…
N-body model of magnetic flux tubes reconnecting in the solar atmosphere
Luca Giovannelli, Francesco Berrilli, Dario Del Moro +7
The investigation of dynamics of the small scale magnetic field on the Sun photosphere is necessary to understand the physical processes occurring in the higher layers of solar atm…
"Ideal" tearing and the transition to fast reconnection in the weakly collisional MHD and EMHD regimes
Daniele Del Sarto, Fulvia Pucci, Anna Tenerani +1
This paper discusses the transition to fast growth of the tearing instability in thin current sheets in the collisionless limit where electron inertia drives the reconnection proce…
Magnetic reconnection: Self-similar current sheet collapse triggered by "ideal" tearing
Anna Tenerani, Marco Velli, Antonio Franco Rappazzo +1
We study, by means of MHD simulations, the onset and evolution of fast reconnection via the "ideal" tearing mode within a collapsing current sheet at high Lundquist numbers ($S\gg1…
The tearing mode instability of thin current sheets: the transition to fast reconnection in the presence of viscosity
Anna Tenerani, Antonio Franco Rappazzo, Marco Velli +1
This paper studies the growth rate of reconnection instabilities in thin current sheets in the presence of both resistivity and viscosity. In a previous paper, Pucci and Velli (201…
