On the electron agyrotropy during rapid asymmetric magnetic island coalescence in presence of a guide field

Abstract We present an analysis of the properties of the electron velocity distribution during island coalescence in asymmetric reconnection with and without guide field. In a previous study, three main domains were identified, in the case without guide field, as X, D, and M regions featuring differ...
