Effective Resistivity in Relativistic Reconnection: A Prescription Based on Fully Kinetic Simulations
A variety of high-energy astrophysical phenomena are powered by the release—via magnetic reconnection—of the energy stored in oppositely directed fields. Single-fluid resistive magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations with uniform resistivity yield dissipation rates that are much lower (by nearly 1 ord...
