Exact models for Hall current reconnection with axial guide fields
This paper employs an analytic reconnection model to investigate the conditions under which Hall currents can influence reconnection and Ohmic dissipation rates. It is first noted that time dependent magnetohydrodynamic systems can be analyzed by decomposing the magnetic and velocity fields into guide field and reconnecting field components. A formally exact solution shows that Hall currents ca...
متن کاملThe Hall fields and fast magnetic reconnection
The results of large-scale, particle-in-cell simulations are presented on the role of Hall electric and magnetic fields on the structure of the electron dissipation region and outflow exhaust during the collisionless magnetic reconnection of antiparallel fields. The simulations reveal that the whistler wave plays the key role in driving the electrons away from the magnetic x-line. Further downs...
متن کاملAsymmetry of the ion diffusion region Hall electric and magnetic fields during guide field reconnection: observations and comparison with simulations.
In situ measurements of magnetic reconnection in the Earth's magnetotail are presented showing that even a moderate guide field (20% of the reconnecting field) considerably distorts ion diffusion region structure. The Hall magnetic and electric fields are asymmetric and shunted away from the current sheet; an appropriately scaled particle-in-cell simulation is found to be in excellent agreement...
متن کاملMagnitude of the Hall fields during magnetic reconnection
[1] In situ observation of the Earth’s magnetosphere has identified Hall magnetic fields as a key signature of collisionless magnetic reconnection. The inflow portion of the reconnection diffusion region is further characterized by strong electron pressure anisotropy. These two features are tightly linked in a quantitative model, which is verified using fully kinetic simulations. The model pred...
متن کاملScaling of forced magnetic reconnection in the Hall-magnetohydrodynamical Taylor problem with arbitrary guide field
Two-dimensional, nonlinear, Hall-magnetohydrodynamical ~MHD! numerical simulations are used to investigate the scaling of the rate of forced magnetic reconnection in the so-called Taylor problem. In this problem, a small amplitude boundary perturbation is suddenly applied to a tearing stable, slab plasma equilibrium. The perturbation is such as to drive magnetic reconnection within the plasma. ...
