Three-dimensional relativistic pair plasma reconnection with radiative feedback in the Crab Nebula
Benoit Cerutti, Gregory R. Werner, Dmitri A. Uzdensky +1
The discovery of rapid synchrotron gamma-ray flares above 100 MeV from the Crab Nebula has attracted new interest in alternative particle acceleration mechanisms in pulsar wind neb…

Simulations of particle acceleration beyond the classical synchrotron burnoff limit in magnetic reconnection: An explanation of the Crab flares
Benoit Cerutti, Gregory R. Werner, Dmitri A. Uzdensky +1
It is generally accepted that astrophysical sources cannot emit synchrotron radiation above 160 MeV in their rest frame. This limit is given by the balance between the accelerating…
