Tearing Driven Reconnection: Energy Conversion Involving Firehose Kinetic Instabilities (2D Hybrid M\"obius Simulations)
Hybrid simulations of tearing reconnection show magnetic energy converts to ion bulk flows and heating in the nonlinear phase, with island contraction driving parallel ion temperature anisotropy that firehose instabilities regulate by redistributing energy to the perpendicular direction.
