Collisionless Reconnection and Electron Demagnetization
Observable, dimensionless properties of the electron diffusion region of collisionless magnetic reconnection are motivated and benchmarked in two and three dimensional Particle In Cell (PIC) simulations as appropriate for measurements with present state of the art spacecraft. The dimensionless quantities of this paper invariably trace their origin to breaking the magnetization of the thermal el...

متن کاملElectron temperature gradient scale at collisionless shocks.
Shock waves are ubiquitous in space and astrophysics. They transform directed flow energy into thermal energy and accelerate energetic particles. The energy repartition is a multiscale process related to the spatial and temporal structure of the electromagnetic fields within the shock layer. While large scale features of ion heating are known, the electron heating and smaller scale fields remai...
متن کاملIon diamagnetic effects in gyrofluid collisionless magnetic reconnection
Ion diamagnetic effects on collisionless magnetic reconnection are investigated by means of numerical simulations of a Hamiltonian gyrofluid model. The work is focused in particular on the effects of inhomogeneous density equilibria in the large ∆′ regime. The linear growth rates predicted by asymptotic theory are recovered. Nonlinearly the island shape is strongly modified and the flow changes...
متن کاملThree-species collisionless reconnection: effect of O+ on magnetotail reconnection.
The nature of collisionless reconnection in a three-species plasma composed of a heavy species, protons, and electrons is examined. In addition to the usual two length scales present in two-species reconnection, there are two additional larger length scales in the system: one associated with a "heavy whistler" which produces a large scale quadrupolar out-of-plane magnetic field, and one associa...
