Onset of Fast Magnetic Reconnection via Subcritical Bifurcation
We report a phase transition model for the onset of fast magnetic reconnection. By investigating the joint dynamics of streaming instability(i.e., current driven ion acoustic in this paper) and current gradient driven whistler wave {color{blue} {prior to the onset of fast reconnection}}, we show tha...
