Distribution of the absolute current density, |Jz|, normalized with the instantaneous absolute peak current density, |Jmax|, for different evolution stages. The y-domain is only shown in the range −1.45 × 104 km ≤ y ≤ +1.45 × 104 km, which contains the region of the current sheet. An animation of the figures is available online.
