• A MAGNETIC RECONNECTION MECHANISM FOR ION ACCELERATION AND ABUNDANCE ENHANCEMENTS IN IMPULSIVE FLARES (2009, background): “Secondary islands are a typical feature of reconnection with a guide field (Drake et al. 2006b) but at this time the secondary islands have convected downstream.”
• Multi-point observations of the Hall electromagnetic field and secondary island formation during magnetic reconnection (2006, methodology): “It is thought that the guide field may play a key role in controlling the production and properties of such islands [Drake et al., 2006b], but recent work using open boundary conditions suggests that islands will form even when no guide field is present [Daughton et al., 2006].”
• Recent Advances in Understanding Particle Acceleration Processes in Solar Flares (2011, background): “Even the speed of light is conveniently reduceby some one or two orders of magnitude to allow a reduction in simulation times (Birn et al. 2001; Drake et al. 2006a).”
• NUMERICAL TESTS OF FAST RECONNECTION IN WEAKLY STOCHASTIC MAGNETIC FIELDS (2009, background): “Straus’ idea is closely related to recent attempts to explain the existence of the observed thick reconnection region in the context of numerical models of collisionless reconnection (Ciaravella & Raymond 2008) and predictions of particle acceleration within these regions (Drake et al. 2006a).”
• Collisionless magnetic reconnection in an asymmetric current sheet (2008, background): “Most particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation studies motivated by the magnetopause have simply superimposed a uniform guide field on the symmetric Harris [Harris, 1962] current sheet [e.g., Scholer et al., 2003; Pritchett and Coroniti, 2004; Ricci et al., 2004a; Hesse et al., 2004; Karimabadi et al., 2005”
