The influence of Asymmetric Inflow Reconnection on the Diffusion Region in Resistive Space Plasmas
To investigate the effect of asymmetric magnetic reconnection on thedevelopment of the diffusion region and growth of merlin wizard costume magnetic islands induced duringreconnection (plasmoids), we use 2-dimensional resistive magnetohydrodynamics sim-ulations.In particular, we consider the strength of the magnetic field and plasma massdensity to
