Fine structures in interlaced magnetic flux ropes via Hall-MHD simulations by Ying-Dong Jia, Hairong Lai, Hanying Wei, Yi Qi, C. T. Russell, Yasong Ge, Tielong Zhang

“…As we replicate previous findings that such interactions can lead to the formation of two new ropes, we also find that magnetic reconnection occurs in multiple locations inside the central current sheet, leading to transient small flux ropes, which is qualitatively consistent with previous magnetospheric multiscale observations. …”

Dual Jet Interaction, Magnetically Arrested Flows, and Flares in Accreting Binary Black Holes by Sean M. Ressler, Luciano Combi, Bart Ripperda, Elias R. Most

“…With the aid of three-dimensional general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations that utilize an approximate, semianalytic, superimposed spacetime metric, we identify two such signatures for merging binaries. Both involve magnetic reconnection and are analogous to plasma processes observed in the solar corona. …”

Solar Flares Triggered by a Filament Peeling Process Revealed by High-resolution GST Hα Observations by Mia Mancuso, Ju Jing, Haimin Wang, Wenda Cao

“…Our new finding may explain why photospheric magnetic fields and overall active region and filament structures as a whole do not have obvious changes after a flare, and why some CMEs have been traced back to the solar active regions with only nonerupting filaments, as the magnetic reconnection may only involve a very small amount of flux in the active region, requiring no significant filament eruptions. …”
