The structure and dynamics of a large-scale plasmoid generated by fast reconnection in the geomagnetic tail

As a sequence of Ugai (2010b), the present paper studies in detail the structure and dynamics of large-scale (principal) plasmoid, generated by the fast reconnection evolution in a sheared current sheet with no initial northward field component. The overall plasmoid domain is divided into the...
