Relativistic magnetic reconnection, a prime mechanism for particle acceleration, has been extensively studied in electron--ion and pair plasmas, but how the dissipated energy is shared among species in electron--positron--ion plasmas, and in particular how ions are energized within a pair-dominated layer, remains …

The solar wind is characterized by turbulence, where a cascade produces intermittent current structures called current sheets (CS) that efficiently dissipate energy into the plasma. These have been studied with in situ spacecraft observations, but single-spacecraft techniques such as the partial variance …

Abstract Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental plasma process that converts magnetic energy into bulk flow energy, thermal energy, and nonthermal particle acceleration. Despite its importance, the statistical properties of the turbulent fluctuations generated by collisionless reconnection, which are essential for understanding how …

Abstract The TeV neutrino signal observed by IceCube from the active galactic nucleus NGC 1068 can probe its innermost coronal regions. If these neutrinos originate from hadrons accelerated within a magnetized turbulent corona, their intensity and spectrum depend on the turbulent magnetic …

Abstract We use 3D fully kinetic simulations to study different turbulence modes and turbulence anisotropy of relativistic turbulence in magnetically dominated collisionless plasmas. We extend the method developed by J. Cho & A. Lazarian for decomposing nonrelativistic magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence into Alfvén, …

We use the 3D fully kinetic simulation to study different turbulence modes and turbulence anisotropy of relativistic turbulence in magnetically dominated collisionless plasmas. We extend the method developed by Cho & Lazarian (2002) for decomposing non-relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence into Alfvén, fast, …

The X-ray emission of active galactic nuclei (AGN) is generally attributed to inverse Compton scattering of accretion-disk photons by hot electrons in a compact corona. In local AGN, directly constraining coronal properties is challenging because the high-energy cutoff often lies beyond the …

Abstract Coherent structures created through turbulent cascades play a key role in energy dissipation and particle acceleration. In this work, we investigate both current and vorticity sheets in 3D particle-in-cell simulations of decaying relativistic turbulence in pair plasma by training a self-organizing …
