Replication data for: Asymmetrically varying guide field during magnetic reconnection: Particle-In-Cell simulations

This data set contains 6 data files named field-*.dat containing binary simulation data, one ReadMe text file and one ReadData python script to read the binary data. The fields-*.dat files contain electric and magnetic fields and average particle data in the simulation domain for relevant times in our analysis. In the study this data set was created for, we compare two 2.5D Particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations, both corresponding to a reconnection event with symmetric initial density and temperature distributions. In one run we include an asymmetrical, varying guide field, while in the other the inflow magnetic field is symmetric. The files in this data set are from the run including the varying guide field.
