BRIEF COMMUNICATION: Electron acceleration by whistler-mode waves around the magnetic null during 3D reconnection

Zong, Qiugang; He, Jiansen; Su, Zhenpeng +5 more

The magnetic field configuration around a magnetic null pair and its associated electron behavior during 3D magnetic reconnection have recently been reported from in situ observations. Electrons are suggested to be temporarily trapped in the central reconnection region as indicated by an electron density peak observed near the magnetic null (He J-…
