Magnetic flux emergence is a very important process in
renewing the magnetic field of the solar corona. As new
magnetic flux emergence from below the photosphere and
reaches in to the corona, the situation for magnetic
reconnection are setup in the battle for space between
the old coronal magnetic field and the new emerging magnetic
field. Numerical MHD experiments investigate this...

Keynote
In the Earth's magnetotail, there are two preferred sites for the
magnetic
reconnection. One is in the distant tail usually beyond the lunar orbit,
and is
considered to be semi-permanently present. The other is in the near
tail at a
distance of a few tens of Earth radius (Re), where the magnetic
reconnection initially
involves closed-field lines in the plasma sheet and hence...

Magnetic reconnection enables the accelerating and heating of
electrons, leading to
the formation of electron distributions, which can be unstable to a
variety of
instabilities. For instance, magnetic reconnection can accelerate
electrons to form
beams and counter-streaming electron populations, as well as loss cone
distributions.
Additionally, at Earth’s magnetopause...
