Studying the properties of reconnection-driven turbulence
Magnetic reconnection, often accompanied by turbulence interaction, is a ubiquitous phenomenon in astrophysical environments. However, the current understanding of the nature of turbulent magnetic reconnection remains insufficient. We investigate the statistical properties of reconnection turbulence in the framework of the self-driven reconnection. Using the open-source software package AMUN, we first perform numerical simulations of turbulent magnetic reconnection. We then obtain the statistic…

Magnetic reconnection sustains the mass budget of the solar wind
The solar wind originates from regions of open magnetic fields on the Sun, but the relevant processes remain unsolved. We present a self-consistent numerical model of the source region of the wind, in which jets similar to those observed on the Sun naturally emerge due to magnetic reconnection between closed and open magnetic fields. In this process material is transferred from closed to open field lines and fed into the solar wind.We quantify the mass flux through the magnetic field connected …

Energetic spectra from semi-implicit particle-in-cell simulations of magnetic reconnection
Astrophysical observations suggest that magnetic reconnection in relativistic plasmas plays an important role in the acceleration of energetic particles. Modeling this accurately requires numerical schemes capable of addressing large scales and realistic magnetic field configurations without sacrificing the kinetic description needed to model particle acceleration self-consistently. We demonstrate the computational advantage of the relativistic semi-implicit method (RelSIM), which allows for re…

Accelerated and fast magnetic reconnection through enhanced resistive dissipation for MHD equations
We consider the phenomenon of magnetic reconnection, namely a change in the topology of magnetic lines, for sufficiently regular solutions of the three-dimensional periodic magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations. We provide examples where magnetic reconnection occurs on time scales shorter than the resistive one, due to enhanced dissipation emerging from advective effects. This is the first analytical result where the advection term plays an active role in the reconnection process. A key aspect of…

Periodic Variations in Visible Light Brightness as Tracers of Fine Coronal Structures
The quiescent or dynamic nature of fine scale ray-like features in the sun corona, observed in visible light, is still an open question. Here, we show that most of daily and hourly periodic variations in visible light brightness of the high corona (up to 15 Rs) are aligned to the tip of streamers and are consistent with the periodicity of plasma release from simulations of tearing-induced magnetic reconnection at the heliospheric current sheet. The areas in which we detect periodicities can be …

Rotation of Polarization Angle in Gamma-Ray Burst Prompt Phase. III. The Influence of the Magnetic Field Orientation
Polarization is very sensitive to the configuration of the magnetic field in the radiation region. In addition to polarization curve and polarization spectrum, studies of polarization angle (PA) rotation spectrum is also crucial. In this paper, we use a simple parametric magnetic reconnection model with a large-scale aligned magnetic field in the radiation region to study the effects of field orientation on the PA rotations. Under different field orientations, variations of the PA rotation with…

Does Turbulence at the Correlation Scale Regulate the Statistics of Magnetic Reconnection?
We study the statistics of dynamical quantities associated with magnetic reconnection events embedded in a sea of strong background magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence using direct numerical simulations. We focus on the relationship of the reconnection properties to the statistics of global turbulent fields. For the first time, we show that the distribution in turbulence of reconnection rates (determined by upstream fields) is strongly correlated with the magnitude of the global turbulent magn…

Witnessing Magnetic Reconnection in Tangled Superpenumbral Fibrils Around a Sunspot
Three-dimensional magnetic reconnection is a fundamental plasma process crucial for heating the solar corona and generating the solar wind, but resolving and characterizing it on the Sun remains challenging. Using high-quality data from the Chinese New Vacuum Solar Telescope, the Solar Dynamics Observatory, and the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph, this work presents highly suggestive direct imaging evidence of magnetic reconnection during the untangling of braided magnetic structures abov…
