Interpreting Crab Nebula synchrotron spectrum: two acceleration mechanisms
Maxim Lyutikov, Tea Temim, Sergey Komissarov +3
We outline a model of the Crab Pulsar Wind Nebula with two different populations of synchrotron emitting particles, arising from two different acceleration mechanisms: (i) Componen…
Particle Acceleration in Relativistic Plasma Turbulence
Luca Comisso, Lorenzo Sironi
Due to its ubiquitous presence, turbulence is often invoked to explain the origin of nonthermal particles in astrophysical sources of high-energy emission. With particle-in-cell si…
Role of the Plasmoid Instability in Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence
Chuanfei Dong, Liang Wang, Yi-Min Huang +2
The plasmoid instability in evolving current sheets has been widely studied due to its effects on the disruption of current sheets, the formation of plasmoids, and the resultant fa…
Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence in the Plasmoid-Mediated Regime
L. Comisso, Y. -M. Huang, M. Lingam +2
Magnetohydrodynamic turbulence and magnetic reconnection are ubiquitous in astrophysical environments. In most situations, these processes do not occur in isolation, but interact w…
