Recent studies show that the out-of-plane quadrupolar magnetic field in fast magnetic reconnection is distorted in the presence of a guide field. It is asymmetric with respect to the current sheet. In this work, we analyze the spatial and amplitude asymmetries of the Hall magnetic field By and the H...
