Short summary
A large energy release can occur in association with magnetic field line reconnection. In order to understand the detailed process of the energy release, accurate satellite observations are invaluable. However, it is usually difficult to identify where a single satellite is located with respect to the reconnection process. The present study proposes using a whistler burst to identify the plasmoid collisions and associated electron acceleration in the reconnection process.
