<p>Satellite observations with high-resolution measurements have demonstrated the existence of intermittent current sheets and occurrence of magnetic reconnection in a quasi-parallel magnetosheath behind the terrestrial bow shock. In this Letter, by performing a three-dimensional (3-D) global hybrid simulation, we investigated the characteristics of the quasi-parallel magnetosheath of the bow shock, which is formed due to the interaction of the solar wind with the earth’s magnetosphere. Current sheets with widths of several ion inertial lengths are found to be produced in the magnetosheath after the upstream large amplitude electromagnetic waves penetrate through the shock and are then compressed in the downstream. Magnetic reconnection consequently occurs in these current sheets, where high-speed ion flow jets are identified in the outflow region. Simultaneously, flux ropes with the extension (along the   direction) of about several earth’s radii are also observed. Our simulation shed new insight on the mechanism for the occurrence of magnetic reconnection in the quasi-parallel shocked magnetosheath.</p>

AbstractWe report the results of three VLBI observations of the pre-main-sequence star AB Doradus A at 8.4 GHz. With almost three years between consecutive observations, we found a complex structure at the expected position of this star for all epochs. Maps at epochs 2007 and 2010 show a double core-halo morphology while the 2013 map reveals three emission peaks with separations between 5 and 18 stellar radii. Furthermore, all maps show a clear variation of the source structure within the observing time. We consider a number of hypothesis in order to explain such observations, mainly: magnetic reconnection in loops on the polar cap, a more general loop scenario and a close companion to AB Dor A.
