Magnetic field line reconnection by localized enhancement of resistivity and its interruption.
Abstract
The nonlinear development of magnetic reconnection in a current-sheet system is studied numerically. The reconnection process, developing from an initial localized enhancement of electrical resistivity, is at some instants interrupted by a sharp decrease in electrical resistivity. The development of this process is studied and the results discussed within the scope of the solar flare theory.
