Three-Dimensional Magnetic Reconnection With a Spatially Confined X-Line Extent: Implications for Dipolarizing Flux Bundles and the Dawn-Dusk Asymmetry
Liu, Yi-Hsin; Li, TC; Hesse, Michael; Sun, WJ; Liu, J; Burch, J; Slavin, James Arthur; Huang, K. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Using 3‐D particle‐in‐cell simulations, we study magnetic reconnection with the X‐line being spatially confined in the current direction. We include thick current layers to prevent reconnection at two ends of a thin current ...
