“…Recently, the structure of SSs has also been studied based on the 2‐D MHD and particle simulations with isotropic [ Li et al ., ] and anisotropic pressures [ Hung et al ., ; Liu et al ., ; Higashimori and Hoshino , ; Hirabayashi and Hoshino , ; Higashimori and Hoshino , ]. In particular, the 2‐D gyrotropic MHD simulations have shown that anomalous reconnection layer consisting of an SS followed by the RD may possibly form in a current sheet with p ∥ > p ⊥ [ Hung et al ., ] as predicted by our earlier 1‐D simulations [ Hau and Hung , ] (referred to as Paper 1).…”
