Theory and Applications of Non-Relativistic and Relativistic Turbulent Reconnection
A. Lazarian, G. Kowal, M. Takamoto +2
Realistic astrophysical environments are turbulent due to the extremely high Reynolds numbers. Therefore, the theories of reconnection intended for describing astrophysical reconne…
Turbulent Reconnection in Relativistic Plasmas And Effects of Compressibility
Makoto Takamoto, Tsuyoshi Inoue, Alexandre Lazarian
We report turbulence effects on magnetic reconnection in relativistic plasmas using 3-dimensional relativistic resistive magnetohydrodynamics simulations. We found reconnection rat…
Thermal synchrotron radiation from RRMHD simulations of the double tearing mode reconnection - Application to the Crab flares
Makoto Takamoto, J. Pétri, H. Baty
We study the magneto-hydrodynamic tearing instability occurring in a double current sheet configuration when a guide field is present. This is investigated by means of resistive re…
Rapid cosmic-ray acceleration at perpendicular shocks in supernova remnants
Makoto Takamoto, John G. Kirk
Perpendicular shocks are shown to be rapid particle accelerators that perform optimally when the ratio of the shock speed to the particle speed roughly equals the ratio…
