    "abstract": "A fully kinetic Vlasov simulation of the Geospace Environment Modeling (GEM)\nMagnetic Reconnection Challenge is presented. Good agreement is found with\nprevious kinetic simulations using particle in cell (PIC) codes, confirming\nboth the PIC and the Vlasov code. In the latter the complete distribution\nfunctions $f_k$ ($k=i,e$) are discretised on a numerical grid in phase space.\nIn contrast to PIC simulations, the Vlasov code does not suffer from numerical\nnoise and allows a more detailed investigation of the distribution functions.\nThe role of the different contributions of Ohm\u0027s law are compared by\ncalculating each of the terms from the moments of the $f_k$. The important role\nof the off--diagonal elements of the electron pressure tensor could be\nconfirmed. The inductive electric field at the X--Line is found to be dominated\nby the non--gyrotropic electron pressure, while the bulk electron inertia is of\nminor importance. Detailed analysis of the electron distribution function\nwithin the diffusion region reveals the kinetic origin of the non--gyrotropic\nterms.",
