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…
Effects of Coulomb Collisions on the Structures of Fast Magnetosonic Shocks
Michael B. Farnell, Fan Guo, Yi-Hsin Liu +1
We present fully kinetic particle-in-cell simulations to demonstrate qualitative effects of binary Coulomb collisions on fast magnetosonic shocks. We find that with sufficiently hi…
Linear Tearing Growth and Onset of Relativistic Magnetic Reconnection in the Presence of Shear Flows and a Guide Field
Sarah Peery, Yi-Hsin Liu
It has been shown in non-relativistic tearing theory that shear flows will slow the linear phase of tearing instability and can delay onset of magnetic reconnection. We find using…
Parker Solar Probe Observations of Compound Reconnection Exhaust Boundaries and Mirror-Mode Structures in the Near-Sun Heliospheric Current Sheet
Weijie Sun, Tai Phan, Jia Huang +12
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental physical process that can drive rapid conversion of magnetic energy into plasma bulk flows, thermal heating, and particle acceleration in spa…
