摘要：

The effect of localization of the resistivity is studied in the coalescence of two magnetic flux bundles. The reconnection process is consistent with the Petschek configuration, and the reconnection rate E depends only weakly on the value eta (0) of the resistivity at the X-point, E proportional to1/\log eta (0)\.
