Cluster observations in the near-Earth magnetotail have shown that sometimes the current sheet is bifurcated, i.e. it is divided in two layers. The influence of magnetic turbulence on ion motion in this region is investigated by numerical simulation, taking into account the presence of both protons and oxygen ions. The magnetotail current sheet is modeled as a magnetic field reversal with a normal magnetic field component $B_n$, plus a three-dimensional spectrum of magnetic fluctuations $delta {bf B}$, which represents the observed magnetic turbulence. The dawn-dusk electric field E$_y$ is also included. A test particle simulation is performed using different values of $delta {bf B}$, E$_y$ and injecting two different species of particles, O$^+$ ions and protons. O$^+$ ions can support the formation of a double current layer both in the absence and for large values of magnetic fluctuations ($delta B/B_0 = 0.0$ and $delta B/B_0 geq 0.4$, where B$_0$ is the constant magnetic field in the magnetospheric lobes).
We present AIA observations of a structure we interpret as a current sheet associated with an X4.9 flare and coronal mass ejection that occurred on 2014~February~25 in NOAA Active Region 11990. We characterize the properties of the current sheet, fin
Using a simple two-dimensional, zero-beta model, we explore the manner by which reconnection at a current sheet releases and dissipates free magnetic energy. We find that only a small fraction (3%-11% depending on current sheet size) of the energy is
A current sheet, where magnetic energy is liberated through reconnection and is converted to other forms, is thought to play the central role in solar flares, the most intense explosions in the heliosphere. However, the evolution of a current sheet a
We report on the structure and evolution of a current sheet that formed in the wake of an eruptive X8.3 flare observed at the west limb of the Sun on September 10, 2017. Using observations from the EUV Imaging Spectrometer (EIS) on Hinode and the Atm
Signatures of the dissipation region of collisionless magnetic reconnection are investigated by the Geotail spacecraft for the 15 May 2003 event. The energy dissipation in the rest frame of the electrons bulk flow is considered in an approximate form
