• Three-dimensional magnetic reconnection regimes: a review (2011, background): “Notably, Linton et al. (2001) and Linton and Priest (2003) have investigated the interaction of magnetic flux tubes in an otherwise field-free environment, and discovered different possible interactions (‘merge’, ‘bounce’, ‘tunnel’ and ‘slingshot’) depending on the relative orientations of the…”
• FAST MAGNETIC RECONNECTION AND SPONTANEOUS STOCHASTICITY (2011, background): “…could be generalized to allow for compressible plasma and asymmetric field-strengths (Cassak & Shay 2007), flux-tubes intersecting at an angle or with a shared component of magnetic field (guide field) Bz (Linton et al. 2001), twisted flux-tubes with magnetic helicity (Zweibel & Rhoads 1995), etc.”
• On Solving the Coronal Heating Problem (2005, background): “However, tubes with opposite twist and like polarity (having axial fields pointed in the same general direction) are not prone to interact (Linton, Dahlburg, and Antiochos, 2001; case RL0 in their notation).”
