Comment on "Nonideal Fields Solve the Injection Problem in Relativistic Reconnection"
Fan Guo, Xiaocan Li, Omar French +7
Recently, Sironi (PRL, 128, 145102; S22) reported the correlation between particles accelerated into high energy and their crossings of regions with electric field larger than magn…
First-Principles Theory of the Rate of Magnetic Reconnection in Magnetospheric and Solar Plasmas
Yi-Hsin Liu, Paul Cassak, Xiaocan Li +3
The rate of magnetic reconnection is of the utmost importance in a variety of processes because it controls, for example, the rate energy is released in solar flares, the speed of…
On the origin of "patchy" energy conversion in electron diffusion regions
Kevin J. Genestreti, Xiaocan Li, Yi-Hsin Liu +9
During magnetic reconnection, field lines interconnect in electron diffusion regions (EDRs). In some EDRs the reconnection and energy conversion rates are controlled by a steady ou…
