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…
On the universality of the split monopole black hole magnetosphere
S. Selvi, O. Porth, B. Ripperda +1
Black holes can acquire magnetic flux from their magnetized progenitor or via prolonged accretion. We study the evolution of black hole magnetospheres by means of axisymmetric gene…
Effective resistivity in relativistic reconnection: a prescription based on fully kinetic simulations
Abigail Moran, Lorenzo Sironi, Aviad Levis +3
A variety of high-energy astrophysical phenomena are powered by the release -- via magnetic reconnection -- of the energy stored in oppositely directed fields. Single-fluid resisti…
Current sheet alignment in oblique black hole magnetospheres -- a black hole pulsar?
Sebastiaan Selvi, Oliver Porth, Bart Ripperda +1
We study the magnetospheric evolution of a non-accreting spinning black hole (BH) with an initially inclined split monopole magnetic field by means of three-dimensional general rel…
Effective resistivity in relativistic collisionless plasmoid-mediated reconnection
Sebastiaan Selvi, Oliver Porth, Bart Ripperda +3
Magnetic reconnection can power spectacular high-energy astrophysical phenomena by producing non-thermal energy distributions in highly magnetized regions around compact objects. B…
