Magnetic reconnection

  1. TESS observations show frequent flaring and magnetic activity in PM J11183+1347
    TESS observations reveal 21 flares on M dwarf PM J11183+1347, including superflares exceeding 10^33 erg. Flare frequency follows a power law with high-energy events dominating total output.
  2. Cold ions enable ion-acoustic waves in asymmetric reconnection
    Particle-in-cell simulations characterize ion-acoustic wave excitation and energy transfer mechanisms in asymmetric magnetic reconnection with cold ion populations.
