Sites for reconnection in magnetosphere
“Standard Model” of Flares
Reconnection at the Leading Edge of an ICME
After J. Gosling
Results from Study of Initial 49 Exhausts Identified in the ACE 64-s Data (~1.3 events/month)
Most of the exhausts were associated with relatively large field shear angles.
Typical exhaust crossing times were 10 minutes - exhaust widths ~ 2.4 x 105 km.
After J. Gosling
This is the largest exhaust yet identified in the solar wind and demonstrates prolonged reconnection at an extended and continuous X-line.

Pudovkin and Bogdanova, Geomag. Aeronomy, 2002
Interaction of solar wind with ICME
Reconnection in the solar wind:
Occurs at thin current sheets that separate distinctly different plasma states (tangential discontinuities).
Commonly is quasi-stationary and typically occurs at extended X-lines (~390 Re Phan et al. 2006, ~600 Re Gosling et al. 2007)
Produces Petschek-type exhausts of roughly Alfvenic jetting plasma bounded by rotational discontinuity-slow shock structure that bifurcate the original thin current sheet.
Slows down ICMEs with low magnetic shear and accelerates ICMEs with high shear.
