• Magnetic Reconnection in Astrophysical and (2009, neutral): “But the thickness of the electron diffusion layer is much larger (5 times) than the values obtained by 2D simulations (Pritchett 2001, Daughton, Scudder & Karimabadi 2006).”
• Multi-point observations of the Hall electromagnetic field and secondary island formation during magnetic reconnection (2006, methodology): “In the ion diffusion region, the ions are directly accelerated in the out-of-plane direction by the reconnection electric field, as observed in simulations [Pritchett, 2001a].”
• Formation of secondary islands during magnetic reconnection (2006, background): “and a length that extends far from the x-line along two of the four separatrices intersecting the x-line [Pritchett, 2001].”
• Current sheet structure near magnetic X‐line observed by Cluster (2003, methodology): “It was also shown in Hall-MHD [e.g., Lottermoser and Scholer, 1997], hybrid [e.g., Lottermoser et al., 1998; Nakamura et al., 1998] and PIC [Hesse et al., 2001; Pritchett, 2001] simulations that a magnetic reconnection produces a quadrupolar out-of-plane component of the magnetic field.”
• Collisionless magnetic reconnection in an asymmetric current sheet (2008, result): “Similar results were obtained for the case of reconnection in a symmetric current sheet [Hesse et al., 1999, 2004; Pritchett, 2001a; Rogers et al., 2003; Pritchett and Coroniti, 2004; Ricci et al., 2004a; Swisdak et al., 2005].”
• A Unified Gas Kinetic Scheme for Continuum and Rarefied Flows V: Multiscale and Multi-Component Plasma Transport (2016, methodology): “Various models were used to describe this phenomenon, for example the electron MHD [40], MHD and Hall MHD [41, 42], full particle [43], and hybrid model [44].”
• Dipolarization fronts as a signature of transient reconnection in the magnetotail (2009, background): “We also show that in spite of the fact that some features of this DF reconnection regime resemble earlier results obtained in simulations with periodic/closed boundaries [Horiuchi and Sato, 1997; Hoshino et al., 1998, 2001; Pritchett, 2001a ], it has practically no analogs because it is distinguish”
