Impulsive magnetic reconnection in the Earth's magnetotail and the solar corona
A Bhattacharjee - Annu. Rev. Astron. Astrophys., 2004 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract Impulsive reconnection dynamics is characterized not only by fast growth but also
by a sudden change in the time derivative of the growth rate. I review recent developments …
