Kinetic signatures of the region surrounding the X line in asymmetric (magnetopause) reconnection
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” …

The effect of a guide field on local energy conversion during asymmetric magnetic reconnection: Particle‐in‐cell simulations
We use theory and simulations to study how the out‐of‐plane (guide) magnetic field strength
modifies the location where the energy conversion rate between the electric field and the …
