Self-Regulation of Solar Coronal Heating Process via Collisionless Reconnection Condition
Dmitri A. Uzdensky
I propose a new paradigm for solar coronal heating viewed as a self-regulating process keeping the plasma marginally collisionless. The mechanism is based on the coupling between t…
Magnetically-dominated jets inside collapsing stars as a model for gamma-ray bursts and supernova explosions
Dmitri A. Uzdensky, Andrew I. MacFadyen
It has been suggested that magnetic fields play a dynamically-important role in core-collapse explosions of massive stars. In particular, they may be important in the collapsar sce…
Self-Regulation of Solar Coronal Heating via the Collisionless Reconnection Condition
Dmitri A. Uzdensky
I present a novel view on the problem of solar coronal heating. In my picture, coronal heating should be viewed as a self-regulating process that works to keep the coronal plasma m…
Force-Free Magnetosphere of an Accreting Kerr Black Hole
Dmitri A. Uzdensky
I consider a stationary axisymmetric force-free degenerate magnetosphere of a rotating Kerr black hole surrounded by a thin Keplerian infinitely-conducting accretion disk. I focus…
2D Numerical Simulation of the Resistive Reconnection Layer
Dmitri A. Uzdensky, Russell M. Kulsrud
In this paper we present a two-dimensional numerical simulation of a reconnection current layer in incompressible resistive magnetohydrodynamics with uniform resistivity in the lim…
