Collisionless accretion onto black holes: dynamics and flares
Alisa Galishnikova, Alexander Philippov, Eliot Quataert +3
We study the accretion of collisionless plasma onto a rotating black hole from first principles using axisymmetric general-relativistic particle-in-cell simulations. We carry out a…
Effective resistivity in relativistic collisionless plasmoid-mediated reconnection
Sebastiaan Selvi, Oliver Porth, Bart Ripperda +3
Magnetic reconnection can power spectacular high-energy astrophysical phenomena by producing non-thermal energy distributions in highly magnetized regions around compact objects. B…
Fully kinetic shearing-box simulations of magnetorotational turbulence in 2D and 3D. I. Pair plasmas
Fabio Bacchini, Lev Arzamasskiy, Vladimir Zhdankin +3
The magnetorotational instability (MRI) is a fundamental mechanism determining the macroscopic dynamics of astrophysical accretion disks. In collisionless accretion flows around su…
