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…
Energy-Dependent Polarization Angle Variability as a Robust Diagnostic for Blazar Flaring Mechanisms
Haocheng Zhang, Benjamin de Jonge, Manel Errando +2
Identifying the physical mechanism driving blazar flares remains a central challenge in high-energy astrophysics. We show that the energy dependence of the standard deviation of th…
Relativistic Electron Acceleration and the 'Ankle' Spectral Feature in Earth's Magnetotail Reconnection
Weijie Sun, Mitsuo Oka, Marit Øieroset +14
Electrons are accelerated to high, non-thermal energies during explosive energy-release events in space, such as magnetic reconnection. However, the properties and acceleration mec…
Low-energy Injection and Nonthermal Particle Acceleration in Relativistic Magnetic Turbulence
Divjyot Singh, Omar French, Fan Guo +1
Relativistic magnetic turbulence has been proposed as a process for producing nonthermal particles in high-energy astrophysics. Particle energization may be contributed by both mag…
Proton Acceleration in Low-beta Magnetic Reconnection with Energetic Particle Feedback
Jeongbhin Seo, Fan Guo, Xiaocan Li +1
Magnetic reconnection regions in space and astrophysics are known as active particle acceleration sites. There is ample evidence showing that energetic particles can take a substan…
A Model for Nonthermal Particle Acceleration in Relativistic Magnetic Reconnection
Xiaocan Li, Fan Guo, Yi-Hsin Liu +1
The past decade has seen an outstanding development of nonthermal particle acceleration in magnetic reconnection in magnetically-dominated systems, with clear signatures of power-l…
