Title: Magnetic Reconnection in the Transition Region of Collisionless Shockwaves

Dr. Imogen Gingell, School of Physics & Astronomy, University of Southampton

Observations by Magnetospheric Multiscale have demonstrated that magnetic reconnection occurs at Earth's bow shock, typically at thin current sheets…

Title: Tayler Instability Revisited

Dr. Valentin Skoutnev, Department of Physics, Columbia University

Tayler instability of toroidal magnetic fields is broadly invoked as the main trigger for turbulence and angular momentum transport in stellar radiative zones. I will discuss a recent systematic revision of the…
