Plasmoid-Mediated 2D Magnetic Reconnection in Partially Ionized Plasmas
Yue Hu, Siyao Xu, Grzegorz Kowal +3
Magnetic reconnection in partially ionized plasmas is an important channel for energy release. While the plasmoid instability is well characterized in 2D fully ionized plasmas, its…
Is plasmoid-mediated reconnection really important in accretion flows to drive flares in AGNs?
Giovani H. Vicentin, Elisabete M. de Gouveia Dal Pino, George N. Wong +4
Based on very high-resolution resistive 2D and 3D magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) simulations of current sheets, our findings suggest that the answer to this question is likely no. In…
Do plasmoids induce fast magnetic reconnection in well-resolved current sheets in 2D MHD simulations?
G. H. Vicentin, G. Kowal, E. M. de Gouveia Dal Pino +1
We investigate the development of tearing-mode instability using the highest-resolution two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations of reconnecting current sheets performed on…
Investigating Turbulence Effects on Magnetic Reconnection Rates Through Three-Dimensional Resistive Magnetohydrodynamical Simulations
Giovani H. Vicentin, Grzegorz Kowal, Elisabete M. de Gouveia Dal Pino +1
We investigate the impact of turbulence on magnetic reconnection through high-resolution 3D magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) simulations, spanning Lundquist numbers from to $10…
Reconnection in turbulent astrophysical fluids
A. Lazarian, G. Eyink, E. Vishniac +1
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental process of magnetic field topology change. We analyze the connection of this process with turbulence which is ubiquitous in astrophysical env…
Opacity Broadening of CO Linewidths and its Effect on the Variance-Sonic Mach Number Relation
Caio Correia, Blakesley Burkhart, Alex Lazarian +5
We study how the estimation of the sonic Mach number () from CO linewidths relates to the actual 3D sonic Mach number. For this purpose we analyze MHD simulations which…
