In situ evidence of ion acceleration between consecutive reconnection jet fronts
Filomena Catapano, Alessandro Retino, Gaetano Zimbardo +21
Processes driven by unsteady reconnection can efficiently accelerate particles in many astrophysical plasmas. An example are the reconnection jet fronts in an outflow region. We pr…
Major Scientific Challenges and Opportunities in Understanding Magnetic Reconnection and Related Explosive Phenomena throughout the Universe
H. Ji, A. Alt, S. Antiochos +97
This white paper summarizes major scientific challenges and opportunities in understanding magnetic reconnection and related explosive phenomena as a fundamental plasma process.
In situ spacecraft observations of a structured electron diffusion region during magnetopause reconnection
Giulia Cozzani, Alessandro Retinò, Francesco Califano +18
The Electron Diffusion Region (EDR) is the region where magnetic reconnection is initiated and electrons are energized. Because of experimental difficulties, the structure of the E…
3D Magnetic Reconnection with a spatially confined X-line extent -- Implications for Dipolarizing Flux Bundles and the Dawn-Dusk Asymmetry
Yi-Hsin Liu, Tak Chu Li, Michael Hesse +5
Using 3D particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations, we study magnetic reconnection with the x-line being spatially confined in the current direction. We include thick current layers to pr…
Magnetosperic Multiscale (MMS) observation of plasma velocity-space cascade: Hermite representation and theory
S. Servidio, A. Chasapis, W. H. Matthaeus +10
Plasma turbulence is investigated using high-resolution ion velocity distributions measured by the Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission (MMS) in the Earth's magnetosheath. The particl…
