RELATIVISTIC RECONNECTION: AN EFFICIENT SOURCE OF NON-THERMAL PARTICLES (2014, background): “As shown in S14, the re- connection rate increases from vrec ' 0.03 c for σ = 1 to vrec ' 0.12 c for σ = 30, and it is nearly independent of σ for larger magnetizations (we have tried up to σ = 100), in agreement with Lyubarsky (2005).”
PARTICLE ACCELERATION AND PLASMA DYNAMICS DURING MAGNETIC RECONNECTION IN THE MAGNETICALLY DOMINATED REGIME (2015, background): “However, later analysis (Lyubarsky 2005) showed that for a pressure-balanced current layer (B2/8π ∼ nk(Ti + Te)), the thermal pressure constrains the outflow speed to be mildly relativistic and hence the ar X iv :1 50 4.”
Prompt emission spectra from the photosphere of a GRB (2006, background): “In the flow, the energy density of the magnetic field is larger than the rest mass energy density and the reconnection speed is increased by the relativistic kinematics to subrelativistic speeds (Lyutikov & Uzdensky 2003; Lyubarsky 2005).”
Particle Acceleration and Magnetic Dissipation in Relativistic Current Sheet of Pair Plasmas (2007, background): “These steadymodels are further investigated by several authors (Lyutikov & Uzdensky 2003; Lyubarsky 2005), although there is controversy about whether inflow speed can be relativistic or not.”
Reconnection-driven plasmoids in blazars: fast flares on a slow envelope (2012, methodology): “In this regime, the Petschek model for (relativistic) reconnection (Lyubarsky 2005) may pply (Kulsrud 2001).”
Fast TeV variability in blazars: jets in a jet (2009, background): “Our picture for relativistic reconnection is the following (Lyubarsky 2005).”
Non-thermal particle acceleration in collisionless relativistic electron-proton reconnection (2016, background): “This mildly relativistic outflow is notable because it is somewhat relativistic, even though σhot 1; however, it is also notable that, in agreement with Lyubarsky (2005), the bulk fluid flow is not highly relativistic, even though σe = µσi 1 and, as shown in Fig.”
Prompt GRB emission from gradual energy dissipation (2007, methodology): “A nominal value used for ǫ is 0.1 (see Lyubarsky 2005).”
Plasmoids in relativistic reconnection, from birth to adulthood: first they grow, then they go (2016, background): “This might explain why earlier works (Cerutti et al. 2013a; Guo et al. 2015; Kagan et al. 2016) claimed that the outflow speed from relativistic reconnection seems systematically lower than Lyubarsky(2005)’s prediction.”
EFFICIENCY OF MAGNETIC TO KINETIC ENERGY CONVERSION IN A MONOPOLE MAGNETOSPHERE (2009, background): “However, it remains uncertain whether such a reconnection process is fast enough to accelerate the plasma as required (Lyubarsky & Kirk 2001; Kirk & Skjæraasen 2003; Lyubarsky 2005).”
The Proto-Magnetar Model for Gamma-Ray Bursts (2010, background): “…either indirectly by refreshing the forward shock (e.g. Granot & Kumar 2006; Dall’Osso et al. 2010) or directly (‘internally’) by e.g. forced reconnection at the forward shell (e.g. Lyubarsky 2003, 2005; Thompson 2006; Zhang & Yan 2011) or by upscattering forward shock photons (Panaitescu 2008).”
A Reconnection Switch to Trigger gamma-Ray Burst Jet Dissipation (2010, methodology): “For a Lundquist number S 1, the Petschek reconnection rate is vr/vA ≈ π/{4 ln[S(vr/vA)2]}, giving vr ∼ 0.018c for S = 1022 for a highly magnetized jet (Lyubarsky 2005).”
SIMULATIONS OF PARTICLE ACCELERATION BEYOND THE CLASSICAL SYNCHROTRON BURNOFF LIMIT IN MAGNETIC RECONNECTION: AN EXPLANATION OF THE CRAB FLARES (2013, background): “Our results suggest that the reconnection outflows are not strongly relativistic, i.e., Γ ∼ 1, as expected in relativistic Sweet-Parker reconnection (Lyubarsky 2005).”
Black Hole Flares: Ejection of Accreted Magnetic Flux through 3D Plasmoid-mediated Reconnection (2021, background): “In these X-points, reconnection heats the plasma up to s~ =T 25max (left panels) after which it is expelled from the layer at Lorentz factors up to sG µ = 5max (Lyubarsky 2005; see also Appendix B for an exploration of different smax in 2D).”
THE INTERNAL-COLLISION-INDUCED MAGNETIC RECONNECTION AND TURBULENCE (ICMART) MODEL OF GAMMA-RAY BURSTS (2010, background): “Lyubarsky (2005) evaluated this effect and correctly concluded that Vin can never achieve the relativistic speed.”
CONSTRAINING EMISSION MODELS OF LUMINOUS BLAZAR SOURCES (2009, background): “Not much is known about the magnetic reconnection in the relativistic regime; in particular, the accompanying particle acceleration processes remain elusive (see Lyubarsky 2005; Lyubarsky & Liverts 2008; Lyutikov & Uzdensky 2003).”
Relativistic Jets Shine through Shocks or Magnetic Reconnection (2015, background): “…that the emitting regions may be characterized by relativistic motions, with outflow Lorentz factorsΓout ∼ √ σ as measured in the rest frame of the jet (Lyubarsky 2005), which has profound implications for jet variability(e.g., Lyutikov & Blandford 2003; Giannios et al. 2009; Nalewajko et al.…”
