Relativistic reconnection with effective resistivity: I. Dynamics and reconnection rate
M. Bugli, E. F. Lopresti, E. Figueiredo +6
Relativistic magnetic reconnection is one of the most fundamental mechanisms considered responsible for the acceleration of relativistic particles in astrophysical jets and magneto…
Particle Acceleration in Collisionless Magnetically Arrested Disks
Jesse Vos, Benoit Cerutti, Monika Moscibrodzka +1
We present the first collisionless realization of two-dimensional axisymmetric black hole accretion consistent with a persistent magnetically arrested disk state. The accretion flo…
Composition-asymmetric and sheared relativistic magnetic reconnection
Enzo Figueiredo, Benoît Cerutti, John Mehlhaff +1
Relativistic magnetic reconnection studies have focused on symmetric configurations so far, where the upstream plasma has identical properties on each side of the layer. The bounda…
Scaling up global kinetic models of pulsar magnetospheres using a hybrid force-free-PIC numerical approach
Adrien Soudais, Benoît Cerutti, Ioannis Contopoulos
The particle-in-cell approach has proven effective at modeling neutron star and black hole magnetospheres from first principles, but global simulations are plagued with an unrealis…
