The energetics of relativistic magnetic reconnection: ion-electron repartition and particle distribution hardness
Mickaël Melzani, Rolf Walder, Doris Folini +2
Collisionless magnetic reconnection is a prime candidate to account for flare-like or steady emission, outflow launching, or plasma heating, in a variety of high-energy astrophysic…
Simulation of microquasars -- the challenge of scales
Rolf Walder, Mickaël Melzani, Doris Folini +2
We present first results of a long-term project which aims at multi-scale, multi-physics simulations of wind accretion in microquasars and high-mass X-ray binaries. The 3D hydrodyn…
Relativistic magnetic reconnection in collisionless ion-electron plasmas explored with particle-in-cell simulations
Mickaël Melzani, Rolf Walder, Doris Folini +2
Magnetic reconnection is a leading mechanism for magnetic energy conversion and high-energy non-thermal particle production in a variety of high-energy astrophysical objects, inclu…
Supersonic turbulence in 3D isothermal flow collision
Doris Folini, Rolf Walder, Jean M. Favre
Colliding supersonic bulk flows shape observable properties and internal physics of various astrophysical objects, like O-star winds, molecular clouds, galactic sheets, binaries, o…
