Collisionless magnetic reconnection with arbitrary guide-field
A new set of reduced equations governing two-dimensional, two-fluid, collisionless magnetic reconnection with arbitrary guide-field is derived. These equations represent a significant advance in magnetic reconnection theory, since the existing reduced equations used to investigate collisionless reconnection are only valid in the large guide-field limit. The new equations are used to calculate t...

متن کاملGuide field dependence of 3-D X-line spreading during collisionless magnetic reconnection
[1] Theoretical arguments and large-scale two-fluid simulations are used to study the spreading of reconnection X-lines localized in the direction of the current as a function of the strength of the out-of-plane (guide) magnetic field. It is found that the mechanism causing the spreading is different for weak and strong guide fields. In the weak guide field limit, spreading is due to the motion...
متن کاملThe Inner Structure of Collisionless Magnetic Reconnection
Magnetic reconnection is a driving engine of solar flares, stellar flares, and quite probably bursty events in high-energy astrophysical sites. The reconnection process is driven by a small-scale “dissipation region” surrounding the reconnection point (X-point), at which a plasma ideal condition breaks down. Recently, kinetic particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations have revealed that the electron id...
متن کاملCollisionless magnetic reconnection in space plasmas
*Correspondence: Rudolf A. Treumann, International Space Science Institute Bern, Hallerstrasse 6, CH-3012 Bern, Switzerland e-mail: [email protected] Magnetic reconnection, the merging of oppositely directed magnetic fields that leads to field reconfiguration, plasma heating, jetting and acceleration, is one of the most celebrated processes in collisionless plasmas. It requires the violation...
