Prof. Klaus Galsgaard (Niels Bohr Institute - University of Copenhagen)11/08/2015, 09:00Workshop, August 10-14InvitedMagnetic 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...Go to contribution page

Dr Rumi Nakamura (IWF/OEAW)11/08/2015, 09:30Workshop, August 10-14KeynoteIn 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...Go to contribution page

Dr Daniel Graham (Swedish Institute of Space Physics)11/08/2015, 10:15Workshop, August 10-14InvitedMagnetic 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...Go to contribution page
