Kinetic Simulations of Radiative Magnetic Reconnection in the Coronae of Accreting Black Holes
Radiative particle-in-cell simulations find that magnetic reconnection in black hole coronae keeps the plasma cold and magnetically dominated, producing a 100 keV bulk-motion X-ray component plus a 20% power high-energy tail.
