Outstanding questions and future research of magnetic reconnection
R. Nakamura, J. L. Burch, J. Birn +22
This short article highlights the unsolved problems of magnetic reconnection in collisionless plasma. The advanced in-situ plasma measurements and simulations enabled scientists to…
Electron Heating During Magnetic Reconnection: A Simulation Scaling Study
M. A. Shay, C. C. Haggerty, T. D. Phan +6
Electron bulk heating during magnetic reconnection with symmetric inflow conditions is examined using kinetic particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. The degree of electron heating is…
On the 3-D structure and dissipation of reconnection-driven flow-bursts
J. F. Drake, M. Swisdak, P. A. Cassak +1
The structure of magnetic reconnection-driven outflows and their dissipation are explored with large-scale, 3-D particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. Outflow jets resulting from 3-D…
Super-Alfvénic propagation of reconnection signatures and Poynting flux during substorms
M. A. Shay, J. F. Drake, J. P. Eastwood +1
The propagation of reconnection signatures and their associated energy are examined using kinetic particle-in-cell simulations and Cluster satellite observations. It is found that…
