Inertial-Range Reconnection in Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence and in the Solar Wind. Lalescu, C., C., Shi, Y., K., Eyink, G., L., Drivas, T., D., Vishniac, E., T., & Lazarian, A. Physical Review Letters, 115(2):25001, 4, 2015. ![Inertial-Range Reconnection in Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence and in the Solar Wind [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Website doi abstract bibtex In situ spacecraft data on the solar wind show events identified as magnetic reconnection with wide outflows and extended “X lines,” 103–104 times ion scales. To understand the role of turbulence at these scales, we make a case study of an inertial-range reconnection event in a magnetohydrodynamic simulation. We observe stochastic wandering of field lines in space, breakdown of standard magnetic flux freezing due to Richardson dispersion, and a broadened reconnection zone containing many current sheets. The coarse-grain magnetic geometry is like large-scale reconnection in the solar wind, however, with a hyperbolic flux tube or apparent X line extending over integral length scales.
