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 …

The present review concerns the relevance of collisionless reconnection in the astrophysical
context. Emphasis is put on recent developments in theory obtained from collisionless …

The role and properties of lower hybrid waves in the ion diffusion region and
magnetospheric inflow region of asymmetric reconnection are investigated using the …

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” …

We perform a three‐dimensional (3‐D) global simulation of Earth's magnetosphere with
kinetic reconnection physics to study the flux transfer events (FTEs) and dayside magnetic …

We identify the electron diffusion region (EDR) of a guide field dayside reconnection site
encountered by the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission and estimate the terms in …

Magnetic reconnection at Earth's dayside magnetopause plays a crucial role in space
weather-related phenomena. The response of the magnetosphere to input from …

Magnetic reconnection, the annihilation and rearrangement of magnetic fields in a plasma,
is a universal phenomenon that frequently occurs when plasmas carrying oppositely …

In this letter the structure of the ion diffusion region of magnetic reconnection at Earth's
magnetopause is investigated using the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) spacecraft. The …

We perform a systematic theoretical and numerical study of antiparallel two‐dimensional
magnetic reconnection with asymmetries in the plasma density and reconnecting magnetic …
