High-energy synchrotron flares powered by strongly radiative relativistic magnetic reconnection: 2D and 3D PIC simulations
K. M. Schoeffler, T. Grismayer, D. Uzdensky +1
The time evolution of high-energy synchrotron radiation generated in a relativistic pair plasma energized by reconnection of strong magnetic fields is investigated with two- and th…
Extreme Plasma Astrophysics
D. Uzdensky, M. Begelman, A. Beloborodov +22
This is a science white paper submitted to the Astro-2020 and Plasma-2020 Decadal Surveys. The paper describes the present status and emerging opportunities in Extreme Plasma Astro…
Bright gamma-ray flares powered by magnetic reconnection in QED-strength magnetic fields
K. M. Schoeffler, T. Grismayer, D. Uzdensky +2
Strong magnetic fields in magnetospheres of neutron stars (especially magnetars) and other astrophysical objects may release their energy in violent, intense episodes of magnetic r…
