“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
Reconnection event 31.08 – 1.09.2001 This is the largest exhaust yet identified in the solar wind and demonstrates prolonged reconnection at an extended and continuous X-line. Gosling et al., GRL 2007

Interaction of solar wind with ICME With reconnection after Erkaev N. V.
Interaction of solar wind with ICME No reconnection after Erkaev N. V. Pudovkin and Bogdanova, Geomag. Aeronomy, 2002
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.
