Generation of near-Earth reconnection by divergent flows in the plasma sheet
(2020-06-25)
A global two-dimensional hybrid simulation is carried out to study the evolution of the near-Earth plasma sheet. It is shown that reconnection X lines and plasmoids can be generated by diverging flows in the plasma sheet. ...
