In this review we focus on the fundamental theory of magnetohydrodynamic reconnection,
together with applications to understanding a wide range of dynamic processes in the solar …

The magnetic field in many astrophysical plasmas–such as the solar corona and Earth's
magnetosphere–has been shown to have a highly complex, three-dimensional structure …

In this study, we apply a new method—the first‐order Taylor expansion (FOTE)—to find
magnetic nulls and reconstruct magnetic field topology, in order to use it with the data from …

The Geotail spacecraft made in situ observations of magnetic reconnection on 15 May 2003
in the near‐Earth magnetotail at a radial distance of 28 RE when a moderate substorm …

Electron heating/acceleration in the foreshock, by which electrons may be energized beyond
thermal energies prior to encountering the bow shock, is very important for the bow shock …

Magnetic nulls are believed to play important roles in the energy dissipation during
reconnection. Such nulls have been observed in reconnection at the magnetopause …

A review of a deceptively simple topic is presented, ie, the excitation of whistler modes by
antennas. It includes the knowledge of antennas and of the waves and their coupling. This …

Magnetic nulls, where magnetic-field strength becomes zero, play a crucial role in energy
conversion and particle acceleration during magnetic reconnection. Recent simulations …

We use kinetic particle-in-cell and MHD simulations supported by an observational data set
to investigate magnetic reconnection in clusters of null points in space plasma. The …

Understanding particle acceleration in the magnetotail during substorms requires
knowledge of changes in the global magnetospheric configuration and the local regions of …
