Magnetic reconnection under centrifugal and gravitational electromotive forces
Zhong-Ying Fan, Fan Zhou, Yuehang Li +2
We examine the physical implications of the centrifugal and gravitational electromotive forces on magnetic reconnection in a Kerr black hole background. We find that both forces in…

Fast magnetic reconnection in Kerr spacetime
Zhong-Ying Fan, Yuehang Li, Fan Zhou +1
We develop a relativistic scenario of fast magnetic reconnection process, for general magnetohydrodynamical plasmas around Kerr black holes. Generalizing the Petschek model, we stu…
