Magnetar-Driven Magnetic Tower as a Model for Gamma-Ray Bursts and Asymmetric Supernovae
Dmitri A. Uzdensky, Andrew I. MacFadyen
We consider a newly-born millisecond magnetar, focusing on its interaction with the dense stellar plasma in which it is initially embedded. We argue that the confining pressure and…

Physical Origin of the Quadrupole Out-of-Plane Magnetic Field in Hall-MHD Reconnection
Dmitri A. Uzdensky, Russell M. Kulsrud
A quadrupole pattern of the out-of-plane component of the magnetic field inside a reconnection region is seen as an important signature of the Hall-magnetohydrodynamic (Hall-MHD) r…
