Fundamental Understanding of Magnetic Reconnection via Spiral CT Scan. I. Density, Temperature, Pressure, and Method Validation

For the first time, we reveal the distribution of plasma density, electron temperature, thermal pressure, and total pressure around a reconnection X-line, by using the spiral CT scan technique, which is a novel technique analogous to that in the hospital. This X-line was detected by the Magnetospher...
