In this review we focus on the fundamental theory of magnetohydrodynamic reconnection,
together with applications to understanding a wide range of dynamic processes in the solar …

The fundamental physics of magnetic reconnection in laboratory and space plasmas is
reviewed by discussing results from theory, numerical simulations, observations from space …

The magnetic field in many astrophysical plasmas–such as the solar corona and Earth's
magnetosphere–has been shown to have a highly complex, three-dimensional structure …

In this study, we apply a new method—the first‐order Taylor expansion (FOTE)—to find
magnetic nulls and reconstruct magnetic field topology, in order to use it with the data from …

Three-dimensional magnetic null points are ubiquitous in the solar corona and in any
generic mixed-polarity magnetic field. We consider magnetic reconnection at an isolated …

Magnetic reconnection, a change of magnetic field connectivity, is a fundamental physical
process in which magnetic energy is released explosively, and it is responsible for various …

Magnetic reconnection is crucial in understanding magnetospheric dynamics and aurorae
processes at planets. In planetary magnetospheres, magnetic reconnection has often been …

Detailed comparisons are reported between laboratory observations of electron‐scale
dissipation layers near a reconnecting X‐line and direct two‐dimensional full‐particle …

We test and compare a number of existing models predicting the location of magnetic
reconnection at Earth's dayside magnetopause for various solar wind conditions. We employ …

Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental plasma process. Recent theoretical studies and
numerical simulations have suggested that electrons can be efficiently accelerated in …
