    "abstract": "A catastrophe model for the onset of fast magnetic reconnection is presented\nthat suggests why plasma systems with magnetic free energy remain apparently\nstable for long times and then suddenly release their energy. For a given set\nof plasma parameters there are generally two stable reconnection solutions: a\nslow (Sweet-Parker) solution and a fast (Alfv\\\u0027enic) Hall reconnection\nsolution. Below a critical resistivity the slow solution disappears and fast\nreconnection dominates. Scaling arguments predicting the two solutions and the\ncritical resistivity are confirmed with two-fluid simulations.",
