Fast plasmoid-mediated reconnection in a solar flare

Feng, Xueshang; Song, Yongliang; Xue, Zhike +8 more

Magnetic reconnection is a multi-faceted process of energy conversion in astrophysical, space and laboratory plasmas that operates at microscopic scales but has macroscopic drivers and consequences. Solar flares present a key laboratory for its study, leaving imprints of the microscopic physics in radiation spectra and allowing the macroscopic evo…
