Reconnection-driven particle acceleration in relativistic shear flows
Lorenzo Sironi, Michael E. Rowan, Ramesh Narayan
Particle energization in shear flows is invoked to explain non-thermal emission from the boundaries of relativistic astrophysical jets. Yet, the physics of particle injection, i.e.…
Electron and Proton Heating in Transrelativistic Guide Field Reconnection
Michael E. Rowan, Lorenzo Sironi, Ramesh Narayan
The plasma in low-luminosity accretion flows, such as the one around the black hole at the center of M87 or Sgr A* at our Galactic Center, is expected to be collisioness and two-te…
The role of electron heating physics in images and variability of the Galactic Centre black hole Sagittarius A*
Andrew Chael, Michael E. Rowan, Ramesh Narayan +2
The accretion flow around the Galactic Center black hole Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) is expected to have an electron temperature that is distinct from the ion temperature, due to weak…
Electron and proton heating in trans-relativistic magnetic reconnection
Michael E. Rowan, Lorenzo Sironi, Ramesh Narayan
Hot collisionless accretion flows, such as the one in Sgr A at our Galactic center, provide a unique setting for the investigation of magnetic reconnection. Here, protons are…
