• Dipolarization fronts as a signature of transient reconnection in the magnetotail (2009, background): “... with the central X-line electrons form two jets moving with the speed that strongly exceeds the Alfve´n speed vA. Although such super-Alfve´nic jets were reported earlier [see, for instance, Pritchett, 2001a, Figures 2 and 5] those narrow (jdzj < di) high-speed jets attracted special attention a”
• Collisionless magnetic reconnection in an asymmetric current sheet (2008, background): “Very recent simulation results have demonstrated the importance of using a sufficiently large simulation system, either by implementing fully open boundary conditions [Daughton et al., 2006; Karimabadi et al., 2007 ] or by employing larger periodic systems [Fujimoto, 2006; Shay et al., 2007], for d”
• Recent Advances in Understanding Particle Acceleration Processes in Solar Flares (2011, methodology): “The electron diffusion region becomes elongated with a two-scale structure: an inner region (sizeDe in Figure 4.27) with a strong electrondrift-associated electric field (see Equation 3.9) and a wider diffusion region characterized by electron jets (Karimabadi et al. 2007; Shay et al. 2007).”
• ELECTRON ACCELERATION BY MULTI-ISLAND COALESCENCE (2010, background): “…is localized only at the center of the diffusion region (‘inner diffusion region’) so that the reconnection rate remains fast while electrons form a high-velocity jet in the ‘outer diffusion region’ (Daughton et al. 2006; Fujimoto 2006; Shay et al. 2007; Karimabadi et al. 2007; Phan et al. 2007).”
• Average properties of the magnetic reconnection ion diffusion region in the Earth's magnetotail: The 2001–2005 Cluster observations and comparison with simulations (2009, background): “Figure 8a shows the out of plane Hall magnetic field and Figure 8b shows the normal (Hall) electric field which except at the central current sheet is due to Hall physics [Karimabadi et al., 2007; Shay et al., 2007; Phan et al., 2007; Drake et al., 2008].”
• Slow Solar Wind: Observations and Modeling (2016, unknown): “The electron diffusion region forms elongated jets (Karimabadi et al. 2007) and tearing is possible leading to the formation of plasmoids and the transition to an unsteady rate of reconnection (Wan and Lapenta 2008a).”
