Guide field effects on particle acceleration in three-dimensional relativistic magnetic reconnection
Despina Karavola, Lorenzo Sironi, Maria Petropoulou
Relativistic magnetic reconnection is a key mechanism for particle acceleration in astrophysical plasmas. Recent 3D particle-in-cell simulations have shown that, for weak guide fie…
Neutrinos and gamma rays from Seyfert galaxies constrain the properties of coronal turbulence
Federico Testagrossa, Damiano F. G. Fiorillo, Luca Comisso +3
The TeV neutrino signal observed by IceCube from the active galactic nucleus (AGN) NGC 1068 can probe its innermost coronal regions. If these neutrinos originate from hadrons accel…
The role of Bethe-Heitler pair production in reconnection-driven flares in M87*
Maria Petropoulou, Despina Karavola, Lorenzo Sironi
Rapid TeV flares have been observed from the core of the active galaxy M87. These have been attributed to inverse Compton scattering of disk photons by electrons and positrons acce…
Magnetic reconnection with a 0.1 rate: Effective resistivity in general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics
B. Ripperda, M. P. Grehan, A. Moran +5
Relativistic magnetic reconnection is thought to power various multi-wavelength emission signatures from neutron stars and black holes. Relativistic resistive magnetohydrodynamics…
Diffuse neutrino flux from relativistic reconnection in AGN coronae
D. Karavola, M. Petropoulou, D. F. G. Fiorillo +3
IceCube observations point to Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) as promising contributors to the observed astrophysical neutrino flux. Close to the central black hole, protons can be ac…
