Are regions essential for particle injection in relativistic magnetic reconnection?

Omar French, Fan Guo, Xiaocan Li +4

During relativistic magnetic reconnection, X-points ( regions at vanishing guide field) have been proposed to play an essential role in injecting particles into the nonthermal…

Power-Law Injection Spectrum from an Ensemble of Reconnecting Current Sheets

Omar French

A collisionless, low- plasma undergoing strong sub-Alfvénic turbulence is expected to form a broad hierarchy of reconnecting current sheets immersed in a strong guide magnetic f…

The Relativistic Jet Dichotomy and the End of the Blazar Sequence

Mary Keenan, Eileen T. Meyer, Markos Georganopoulos +2

Our understanding of the unification of jetted AGN has evolved greatly as jet samples have increased in size. Here, based on the largest-ever sample of over 2000 well-sampled jet s…
