🔥 Hot off the press 🔥 @michaelpgrehan.bsky.social, grad student in CITA’s plasma astro group (@bartripperda.bsky.social’s group) shows that relativistic reconnection is invariant to the underlying model: ideal, resistive MHD, MD, force free electrodynamics, doesn’t matter… arxiv.org/abs/2503.20013
Comparison of magnetic diffusion and reconnection in ideal and resistive relativistic magnetohydrodynamics, ideal magnetodynamics and resistive force-free electrodynamics
High-energy astrophysical systems and compact objects are frequently modeled using ideal relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) or force-free electrodynamic (FFE) simulations, with the underlying assu...
