The Formation of Magnetic Depletions and Flux Annihilation Due to Reconnection in the Heliosheath
The misalignment of the solar rotation axis and the magnetic axis of the Sun produces a periodic reversal of the Parker spiral magnetic field and the sectored solar wind. The compression of the sectors is expected to lead to reconnection in the heliosheath (HS). We present particle-in-cell simulatio...
