On the Hall-mediated resistive tearing instability of highly elongated current sheets
Abstract
The present paper provides comprehensive description of various regimes involved in the two-fluid model of the resistive tearing instability. These include two novel regimes of this instability, which correspond to the long-wave modes that can develop in a highly-elongated current sheet. This issue is relevant to the study of fast magnetic reconnection and magnetic turbulence in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) objects with a large value of the Lundquist number.
