We investigate the beaming of particles and the resulting synchrotron radiation in
relativistic reconnection with background magnetizations of 4, 40, and 400 via 2D
particle-in-cell simulations. First, we verify that the overall rate of energy
conversion and the characteristics of radiation are similar at all magnetizations
even for configurations including low-density background plasmas,...

Magnetic reconnection is a very efficient process to convert magnetic
energy into
kinetic plasma energy. Unfortunately, models of reconnection such as
Sweet Parker, do
not agree with the time scale observed during the impulsive phase of a
Solar flares,
providing only small reconnection rates. One possible approach for
reaching fast
reconnection observed is by considering small...

The global hybrid-Vlasov simulation Vlasiator
(http://vlasiator.fmi.fi), developed at
the Finnish Meteorological Institute, describes ions as velocity
distributions
functions propagated by solving the Vlasov equation and
treats electrons as
charge-neutralizing fluid. We present results from a new 5-
dimensional simulation
describing the Earth's magnetosphere in two dimensions in...
