A concise review is given on the past two decades' results from laboratory experiments on
collisionless magnetic reconnection in direct relation with space measurements, especially …

We report in situ observations of an electron diffusion region (EDR) and adjacent separatrix
region in the Earth's magnetotail. We observe significant magnetic field oscillations near the …

Magnetic reconnection converts magnetic energy into thermal and kinetic energy in plasma.
Among the numerous candidate mechanisms, ion acoustic instabilities driven by the relative …

Plasma in the earth's magnetosphere is subjected to compression during geomagnetically
active periods and relaxation in subsequent quiet times. Repeated compression and …

The lower hybrid drift wave (LHDW) has been a candidate for anomalous resistivity and
electron heating inside the electron diffusion region of magnetic reconnection. In a …

We analyze a magnetotail reconnection onset event on 3 July 2017 that was observed
under otherwise quiescent magnetospheric conditions by a fortuitous conjunction of six …

Magnetic flux ropes (MFRs) are significant regions for the production of energetic electrons
in space and astrophysical plasmas. However, the research on electron heating and …

The magnetic reconnection experiment has recently seen short wavelength (k ρ e∼ 1) lower-
hybrid waves near the electron diffusion region in strong guide field reconnection. Based on …

We investigate electrostatic waves in a magnetopause reconnection event around a
secondary electron diffusion region. Near the current sheet mid‐plane, parallel electron …

Geospace plasma simulations have progressed toward more realistic descriptions of the
solar wind–magnetosphere interaction from magnetohydrodynamic to hybrid ion‐kinetic …
