Direct evidence of secondary reconnection inside filamentary currents of magnetic flux ropes during magnetic reconnection
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental plasma process of magnetic energy conversion to kinetic energy. Here, the authors show direct evidence of secondary reconnection in the filamentary currents within the flux ropes indicating a significant contribution to energy conversion in the kinetic scale du...
