Abstract Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS), a NASA four-spacecraft constellation mission
launched on March 12, 2015, will investigate magnetic reconnection in the boundary …

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

The heliospheric magnetic field (HMF) is the extension of the coronal magnetic field carried
out into the solar system by the solar wind. It is the means by which the Sun interacts with …

Magnetic reconnection is a topological rearrangement of magnetic field that converts
magnetic energy to plasma energy. Astrophysical flares, from the Earth's magnetosphere to …

Abstract The Acceleration, Reconnection, Turbulence, and Electrodynamics of the Moon's
Interaction with the Sun (ARTEMIS) mission is a spin-off from NASA's Medium-class Explorer …

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

Magnetic reconnection is a universal process leading to energy conversion in plasmas. It
occurs in the Solar System,,,,,, in laboratory plasmas and is important in astrophysics …

The mechanism that produces energetic electrons during magnetic reconnection is poorly
understood. This is a fundamental process responsible for stellar flares,, substorms,, and …

We present measurements of a magnetic reconnection in a plasma created by two laser
beams (1 ns pulse duration, 1× 10 15 W cm-2) focused in close proximity on a planar solid …

The Wind spacecraft, launched on November 1, 1994, is a critical element in NASA's
Heliophysics System Observatory (HSO)—a fleet of spacecraft created to understand the …
