Abstract
AbstractThe boundaries of high-velocity-clouds that hit the Galactic plane are sources of strong X-ray emission indicating gas temperatures of a few million Kelvin. We show that numerous individual magnetic reconnection processes in the interaction region between an HVC and the ionized Reynolds layer may cause the gas heating via dynamical Ohmic dissipation. We present results of numerical plasmaneutral gas fluid simulations performed to study the dynamical reconnection process and to calculate the conversion of magnetic energy into heat.
