Abstract
Steady state collisionless magnetic reconnection is studied in the frequency and spatial range of lower-hybrid waves that are linearly unstable due to the Buneman instability. We demonstrate that nonlinear currents and charges associated with electron phase-space vortices can efficiently mediate a topological transformation of a sheared magnetic field, yielding a single chain of magnetic islands coupled with a double chain of hydrodynamic vortices.
