Magnetic Reconnection and Associated Particle Acceleration in High-energy Astrophysics
Fan Guo, Yi-Hsin Liu, Seiji Zenitani +1
Magnetic reconnection occurs ubiquitously in the universe and is often invoked to explain fast energy release and particle acceleration in high-energy astrophysics. The study of re…
Extended magnetic reconnection in kinetic plasma turbulence
Tak Chu Li, Yi-Hsin Liu, Yi Qi +1
Magnetic reconnection and plasma turbulence are ubiquitous processes important for laboratory, space and astrophysical plasmas. Reconnection has been suggested to play an important…
A Model for Nonthermal Particle Acceleration in Relativistic Magnetic Reconnection
Xiaocan Li, Fan Guo, Yi-Hsin Liu +1
The past decade has seen an outstanding development of nonthermal particle acceleration in magnetic reconnection in magnetically-dominated systems, with clear signatures of power-l…
First-Principles Theory of the Relativistic Magnetic Reconnection Rate in Astrophysical Pair Plasmas
Matthew Goodbred, Yi-Hsin Liu
We develop a first-principles model for the relativistic magnetic reconnection rate in strongly magnetized pair plasmas. By considering the energy budget and required current densi…
