Integrated average beam heating power along the z-axis (upper panel) and y-axis (lower panel) of the Bifrost simulation snapshot at t′ = 28 s. The blue regions represent where a fraction p of the reconnection energy is being injected into the accelerated electrons, while the orange regions show where the non-thermal electrons deposit their energy and heat the plasma. The coloured circles in the upper panel are the areas of interest, while the crosses (upper panel) and dashed lines (lower panel) mark the specific locations analysed in detail (L1, L2, L3, and L4).
