dc.description.abstract | 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 identified. These include signatures of pressure non-gyrotropy in the velocity distributions, and lemon shaped distributions in the in-plane velocity directions. Further, we explain how these features form through particle energization by the out-of-plane electric field. Identification of these features in the distributions can aid in analysis of data where clear signatures of ongoing reconnection are not yet present. | en_US |
