• 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 ...
    • The Role of Resistivity on the Efficiency of Magnetic Reconnection in MHD 

      Jimenez, Judit Perez-Coll; Tenfjord, Paul Arne Riksheim; Hesse, Michael; Norgren, Astrid Elisabet Cecilia; Kwagala, Norah Kaggwa; Kolstø, Håkon Midthun; Spinnangr, Susanne Flø (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Using a resistive MagnetoHydroDynamic (MHD) simulation, we study how the magnitude and shape of diffusion influence magnetic reconnection. Specifically, we investigate how and why the reconnection rate is influenced by ...
