Model-independent constraints expose kinetic-luminosity and induced-Compton optical-depth bottlenecks that rule out or severely limit external-shock and light-cylinder reconnection FRB models while favoring magnetospheric scenarios with in-situ acceleration.
Hybrid simulations of tearing reconnection show magnetic energy converts to ion bulk flows and heating in the nonlinear phase, with island contraction driving parallel ion temperature anisotropy that firehose instabilities regulate by redistributing energy to the perpendicular direction.
