Polarization Signatures of Relativistic Magnetohydrodynamic Shocks in the Blazar Emission Region - I. Force-free Helical Magnetic Fields
Haocheng Zhang, Wei Deng, Hui Li +1
The optical radiation and polarization signatures in blazars are known to be highly variable during flaring activities. It is frequently argued that shocks are the main driver of t…

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…

Relativistic MHD simulations of collision-induced magnetic dissipation in Poynting-flux-dominated jets/outflows
Wei Deng, Hui Li, Bing Zhang +1
We perform 3D relativistic ideal MHD simulations to study the collisions between high- (Poynting-flux-dominated) blobs which contain both poloidal and toroidal magnetic field co…
