Formation of giant plasmoids at the pulsar wind termination shock: a possible origin of the inner-ring knots in the crab nebula

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Cerutti Benou00eet and Giacinti Gwenael from the UnivGrenoble Alpes, CNRS, IPAG, Grenoble, France have published the article: Formation of giant plasmoids at the pulsar wind termination shock: A possible origin of the inner-ring knots in the Crab Nebula, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
• what: The authors investigate the dynamics of the shock front and downstream flow with special emphasis on the reconnecting equatorial current sheet. The authors examine whether giant plasmoids produced in the reconnection process could be good candidates for the knots. The authors provide a detailed analysis of their evolution and propose . . .
