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 explosive relativistic reconnection events and Crab Nebula gamma-ray flares
Maxim Lyutikov, Serguei Komissarov, Lorenzo Sironi +1
We develop a model of gamma-ray flares of the Crab Nebula resulting from the magnetic reconnection events in highly-magnetized relativistic plasma. We first discuss physical parame…
