Recent progress on magnetic reconnection by in situ measurements
In the last decades, a few spacecraft missions have been launched to investigate the process of magnetic reconnection in space, during which magnetic free energy is explosively released into plasma kinetic ene...

Direct observation of turbulent magnetic reconnection in the solar wind
Magnetic reconnection in a current sheet is commonly found in astrophysical plasma environments. If it is often bursty, releasing magnetic free energy explosively, in planetary magnetospheres, it instead displ...

Open AccessThree-dimensional network of filamentary currents and super-thermal electrons during magnetotail magnetic reconnection
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental plasma process by which magnetic field lines on two sides of the current sheet flow inward to yield an X-line topology. It is responsible for producing energetic electron...

Open AccessMagnetotail reconnection onset caused by electron kinetics with a strong external driver
Magnetotail reconnection plays a crucial role in explosive energy conversion in geospace. Because of the lack of in-situ spacecraft observations, the onset mechanism of magnetotail reconnection, however, has b...

Magnetotail dipolarization fronts and particle acceleration: A review
In this paper, the particle acceleration processes around magnetotail dipolarization fronts (DFs) were reviewed. We summarize the spacecraft observations (including Cluster, THEMIS, MMS) and numerical simulati...

Coalescence of magnetic flux ropes in the ion diffusion region of magnetic reconnection
Merging magnetic flux ropes, which are believed to play an important role in magnetic reconnection, have now been clearly identified. Observations show that coalescence is indeed closely related to reconnectio...

Open AccessElectron dynamics in collisionless magnetic reconnection
Magnetic reconnection provides a physical mechanism for fast energy conversion from magnetic energy to plasma kinetic energy. It is closely associated with many explosive phenomena in space plasma, usually col...

Open AccessThe effects of the guide field on the structures of electron density depletions in collisionless magnetic reconnection
Two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations are performed to investigate the formation of electron density depletions in collisionless magnetic reconnection. In anti-parallel reconnection, the quadrupole stru...
