Efficient Production of High-energy Nonthermal Particles during Magnetic Reconnection in a Magnetically-dominated Ion-Electron Plasma
Fan Guo, Xiaocan Li, Hui Li +6
Magnetic reconnection is a leading mechanism for dissipating magnetic energy and accelerating nonthermal particles in Poynting-flux dominated flows. In this letter, we investigate…
Nonthermally Dominated Electron Acceleration during Magnetic Reconnection in a Low-beta Plasma
Xiaocan Li, Fan Guo, Hui Li +1
By means of fully kinetic simulations, we investigate electron acceleration during magnetic reconnection in a nonrelativistic proton--electron plasma with conditions similar to sol…
Particle Acceleration and Plasma Dynamics during Magnetic Reconnection in the Magnetically-dominated Regime
Fan Guo, Yi-Hsin Liu, William Daughton +1
Magnetic reconnection is thought to be the driver for many explosive phenomena in the universe. The energy release and particle acceleration during reconnection have been proposed…
Polarization Swings Reveal Magnetic Energy Dissipation in Blazars
Haocheng Zhang, Xuhui Chen, Markus Boettcher +2
The polarization signatures of the blazar emissions are known to be highly variable. In addition to small fluctuations of the polarization angle around a mean value, sometimes larg…
