Energy Conversion during Asymmetric Magnetic Reconnection
Asymmetric magnetic reconnection usually occurs at the Earth’s magnetopause, where the magnetic field strength and plasma density are different between the magnetosheath and magnetosphere. In this paper, a two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulation model is used to study the energy conversion durin...
