Formation of Power-law Electron Energy Spectra in Three-dimensional Low- Magnetic Reconnection
Xiaocan Li, Fan Guo, Hui Li +2
While observations have suggested that power-law electron energy spectra are a common outcome of strong energy release during magnetic reconnection, e.g., in solar flares, kinetic…
Time-step dependent force interpolation scheme for suppressing numerical Cherenkov instability in relativistic particle-in-cell simulations
Yingchao Lu, Patrick Kilian, Fan Guo +2
The WT scheme, a piecewise polynomial force interpolation scheme with time-step dependency, is proposed in this paper for relativistic particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. The WT sc…
An \mathcal{O}(N) Maxwell solver with improved numerical dispersion properties
Yingchao Lu, Chengkun Huang, Patrick Kilian +3
A Maxwell solver derived from finite element method with \mathcal{O}(N) computing cost is developed to improve the numerical dispersion properties in relativistic particle-in-cell…
High-Energy Polarimetry - a new window to probe extreme physics in AGN jets
B. Rani, H. Zhang, S. D. Hunter +31
The constantly improving sensitivity of ground-based and space-borne observatories has made possible the detection of high-energy emission (X-rays and gamma-rays) from several thou…
Determining the Dominant Acceleration Mechanism during Relativistic Magnetic Reconnection in Large-scale Systems
Fan Guo, Xiaocan Li, William Daughton +5
While a growing body of research indicates that relativistic magnetic reconnection is a prodigious source of particle acceleration in high-energy astrophysical systems, the dominan…
