Generalized Magnetofluid Connections in Curved Spacetime
Luca Comisso, Felipe A. Asenjo
The ideal magnetohydrodynamic theorem on the conservation of the magnetic connections between plasma elements is extended to non-ideal relativistic plasmas in curved spacetime. The…

Scalings Pertaining to Current Sheet Disruption Mediated by the Plasmoid Instability
Yi-Min Huang, Luca Comisso, Amitava Bhattacharjee
Analytic scaling relations are derived for a phenomenological model of the plasmoid instability in an evolving current sheet, including the effects of reconnection outflow. Two sce…

The interplay of magnetically-dominated turbulence and magnetic reconnection in producing nonthermal particles
Luca Comisso, Lorenzo Sironi
Magnetized turbulence and magnetic reconnection are often invoked to explain the nonthermal emission observed from a wide variety of astrophysical sources. By means of fully-kineti…
