Spatial profiles along the reconnection outflow of (a) dimensionless electron temperature ﹩{\theta }_{{\rm{e}}}﹩ for ﹩{\beta }_{{\rm{i}}}=0.0078,{T}_{{\rm{e}}}/{T}_{{\rm{i}}}=0.1;﹩ (b) dimensionless proton temperature ﹩{\theta }_{{\rm{i}}}﹩ for ﹩{\beta }_{{\rm{i}}}=0.0078,{T}_{{\rm{e}}}/{T}_{{\rm{i}}}=0.1;﹩ (c) dimensionless electron temperature ﹩{\theta }_{{\rm{e}}}﹩ for ﹩{\beta }_{{\rm{i}}}=2,{T}_{{\rm{e}}}/{T}_{{\rm{i}}}=1;﹩ and (d) dimensionless proton temperature ﹩{\theta }_{{\rm{i}}}﹩ for ﹩{\beta }_{{\rm{i}}}=2,{T}_{{\rm{e}}}/{T}_{{\rm{i}}}=1﹩. The mass ratio is ﹩{m}_{{\rm{i}}}/{m}_{{\rm{e}}}=25﹩ and ﹩{\sigma }_{w}=0.1.﹩ The spatial profiles are extracted from simulations with domain size ﹩{L}_{x}\approx 2000c/{\omega }_{\mathrm{pe}}﹩ (green) and ﹩{L}_{x}\approx 4000c/{\omega }_{\mathrm{pe}}﹩ (blue). These spatial profiles are from the same simulations shown in Figure 19, at time ﹩t\approx 1{t}_{{\rm{A}}}﹩.
