Zusammenfassung |
Magnetic reconnection is a process that changes magnetic field configuration and converts a
magnetic energy to the flow energy and plasma heating. Reconnection can occur at
boundaries where different magnetic field topologies encounter each another and thin current
sheets are created. In the paper, we present the observations of unusual reconnection events in
the solar wind. We identify magnetic reconnection exhausts accompanied by two
side jets that are oriented in the same direction as the main exhaust jet but they are
spatially separated from it. This set of magnetic reconnection events is observed
simultaneously by several spacecraft located in the solar wind, and it allows us to
conclude that the side jets are observed around the main X-line. A source of the side
jets is probably multiple reconnection occurring in the vicinity of the main X-line. |
