Compression of the current sheet and its impact into the reconnection rate
Abstract
Numerical simulations of strongly compressible MHD corresponding to a stellar atmosphere with substantial gravity and near force-free magnetic fields show that the current sheet collapses (its width decreasing substantially). As a result, the reconnection rate increases dramatically.
