Reconnection in Sheared Magnetic Fields in Space and Astrophysics
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 August 2017
Abstract
The current theoretical understanding of the linear and nonlinear evolution of resistive tearing instabilities in sheared magnetic fields is reviewed. The physical mechanisms underlying this instability are emphasized. Some of the problems which are encountered in developing a model of magnetic energy dissipation in coronal loops are discussed and possible solutions are suggested.
