INTRODUCTION Magnetic reconnection is a physical process occurring in plasmas in which
magnetic energy is explosively converted into heat and kinetic energy. The effects of …

Magnetic reconnection converts, often explosively, stored magnetic energy to particle
energy in space and in the laboratory. Through processes operating on length scales that …

There is ample evidence for magnetic reconnection in the solar system, but it is a nontrivial
task to visualize, to determine the proper approaches and frames to study, and in turn to …

Magnetic reconnection is known to be an important process for coupling solar wind mass
and momentum into the Earth's magnetosphere. Reconnection is initiated in an electron …

Kinetic particle‐in‐cell simulations are used to identify signatures of the electron diffusion
region (EDR) and its surroundings during asymmetric magnetic reconnection. A “shoulder” …

Abstract We report Magnetospheric Multiscale observations of macroscopic and electron‐
scale current layers in asymmetric reconnection. By intercomparing plasma, magnetic, and …

We report in situ observation of magnetic reconnection between magnetic flux rope (MFR)
and magnetic hole (MH) in the magnetosheath by the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission …

Ionospheric ions (mainly H+, He+, and O+) escape from the ionosphere and populate the
Earth's magnetosphere. Their thermal energies are usually low when they first escape the …

Two‐and three‐dimensional particle‐in‐cell simulations of a recent encounter of the
Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission (MMS) with an electron diffusion region at the …

Magnetic reconnection is universal in various plasma environments like the solar
atmosphere, planetary magnetosphere, and laboratory to trigger explosive phenomena. Its …
