Net change in heating power due to non-thermal electrons in the atmospheric simulation accumulated over the y-axis of the simulation box. Approximately 1.25 million beams were simulated using the Fokker–Planck-based model, with magnetic gradient forces accounted for in the electron transport equations. Blue regions have a net reduction in heating power resulting from released reconnection energy that would otherwise be released as local heating instead of going into particle acceleration. Orange regions indicate where the non-thermal energy is deposited as heat.
