Effects of the guide field on electron distribution functions in the diffusion region of asymmetric reconnection

Bessho, Naoki; Chen, Lijen; Wang, Shan; Hesse, Michael (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)

Crescent electron distribution functions in the electron diffusion region in asymmetric reconnection with a guide field (strength less than 50% of the upstream magnetic field) are investigated by theory and fully kinetic ...
Magnetic Reconnection in a Quasi-Parallel Shock: Two-Dimensional Local Particle-in-Cell Simulation

Bessho, Naoki; Chen, Lijen; Wang, Shan; Hesse, Michael; Wilson, Lynn B. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)

Magnetic reconnection in a quasi‐parallel bow shock is investigated with two‐dimensional local particle‐in‐cell simulations. In the shock transition and downstream regions, large amplitude magnetic fluctuations exist, and ...
