Asymmetrically Varying Guide Field During Magnetic Reconnection: Particle-In-Cell Simulations
Spinnangr, Susanne Flø; Tenfjord, Paul Arne Riksheim; Hesse, Michael; Norgren, Astrid Elisabet Cecilia; Kolstø, Håkon Midthun; Kwagala, Norah Kaggwa; Jørgensen, Therese; Jimenez, Judit Perez-Coll (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Using fully kinetic particle-in-cell modeling, we investigate how magnetic reconnection responds to a varying guide field in one of the inflow regions. We find that the reconnection rate varies significantly when the ... -
Electron Behavior Around the Onset of Magnetic Reconnection
Spinnangr, Susanne Flø; Hesse, Michael; Tenfjord, Paul Arne Riksheim; Norgren, Cecilia; Kolstø, Håkon Midthun; Kwagala, Norah Kaggwa; Jørgensen, Therese; Phan, Tai D. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)We investigate the onset of magnetic reconnection, utilizing a fully kinetic Particle-In-Cell (PIC) simulation. Characteristic features of the electron phase-space distributions immediately before reconnection onset are ...
