This book provides an overview of recent research highlights in the
main areas of application of magnetic reconnection (MR), including
planetary, solar and magnetospheric physics and astrophysics. It
describes how research on magnetic reconnection, especially
concerning the Earth's magnetosphere, has grown extensively due to
dedicated observations from major satellite missions such as
Cluster, Double Star and Themis. The accumulated observations from
these missions are being supplemented by many theoretical and
modelling efforts, for which large scale computer facilities are
successfully being used, and the theoretical advances are also
covered in detail. Opening with an introductory discussion of some
fundamental issues related to magnetic reconnection, subsequent
chapters address topics including collisionless magnetic
reconnection, MHD structures in 3D reconnection, energy conversion
processes, fast reconnection mediated by plasmoids, rapid
reconnection and magnetic field topology. Further chapters consider
specific areas of application such as magnetospheric dayside and
tail reconnection, comparative reconnection in planetary systems
and reconnection in astrophysical systems. The book offers insight
into discussions about fundamental concepts and key aspects of MR,
access to the full set of applications of MR as presently known in
space physics and in astrophysics, and an introduction to a new
related area of study dealing with the annihilation of quantum
magnetic fluxes and its implications in the study on neutron star
activity. The book is aimed primarily at students entering the
field, but will also serve as a useful reference text for
established scientists and senior researchers.
