Recent in-situ observations of magnetic reconnection in near-Earth space
Max-Planck-Institut für extraterrestrische Physik, Garching, Germany
The paper presents a brief review of recent in-situ observations of reconnection in space, with emphasis on results pertaining to the question of anti-parallel versus component reconnection, the implied spatial and temporal scales, the location of the reconnection sites, particle acceleration, reconnection rates, the dependence on plasma β, and the properties of the diffusion region.
