3D reconnection due to oblique modes: a simulation of Harris current sheets
Simulations in three dimensions of a Harris current sheet with mass ratio, m<sub>i</sub>/m<sub>e</sub> = 180, and current sheet thickness, p<sub>i</sub>/L = 0.5, suggest the existence of a linearly unstable oblique mode, which is independent from either the drift-...
