Comptonization by Reconnection Plasmoids in Black Hole Coronae III: Dependence on the Guide Field in Pair Plasma
Sanya Gupta, Navin Sridhar, Lorenzo Sironi
We perform two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations of magnetic reconnection for various strengths of the guide field (perpendicular to the reversing field), in magnetically-do…
