Nonlinear wave propagation and reconnection at magnetic X-points in the Hall MHD regime
Context. The highly dynamical, complex nature of the solar atmosphere naturally implies the presence of waves in a topologically varied magnetic environment. Here, the interaction of waves with topological features such as null points is inevitable and potentially important for energetics. The low resistivity of the solar coronal plasma implies that non-magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) effects should ...
متن کاملInfluence of the Hall effect on the reconnection rate at line-tied magnetic X-points*1mm
Context. The role of the Hall term in magnetic reconnection at line-tied planar magnetic X-points is explored. Aims. The goal is to determine the reconnection scaling laws and to investigate how the reconnection rate depends on the size of the system in Hall magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). Methods. The evolution of reconnective disturbances is determined numerically by solving the linearized compre...
متن کاملThree-dimensional spontaneous magnetic reconnection in neutral current sheets
The reconnection of magnetic field lines is one of the fundamental processes that lead to the eruptive release of stored magnetic energy in plasmas. A large number of observations and experiments, e.g., solar flares, geomagnetic substorms, the sawtooth instability in fusion experiments, and laboratory reconnection experiments, support this hypothesis. Magnetic reconnection is important for the ...
متن کاملExperimental investigation of the neutral sheet profile during magnetic reconnection
During magnetic reconnection, a “neutral sheet” current is induced, heating the plasma. The resultant plasma thermal pressure forms a stationary equilibrium with the opposing magnetic fields. The reconnection layer profile holds significant clues about the physical mechanisms which control reconnection. On the Magnetic Reconnection Experiment [M. Yamada et al., Phys. Plasmas 4, 1936 (1997)], a ...
متن کاملSteady Hall Magnetohydrodynamics Near a X-type Magnetic Neutral Line
Hall magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) properties near a two-dimensional (2D) X-type magnetic neutral line in the steady state are considered. Upon considering the steady-state as the asymptotic limit of the corresponding time-dependent problem and using a rigorous development, Hall effects are shown to be or not to be able to sustain the hyperbolicity of the magnetic field (and hence a more open X-po...
