Figure 1: Geometry of the magnetic field in the vicinity of the current sheet before the onset of reconnection. The current sheet corresponding to the contact discontinuity of magnetic field is coplanar with the xz plane. The two magnetic field vectors inclined with respect to the x-axis represent two magnetic field lines on both sides of the current sheet. |
