Magnetic-Reconnection and Current-Sheet Model for the Radio Arc and Threads in the Galactic Center
Yoshiaki Sofue, Hiromitsu Kigure, Kazunari Shibata
Abstract
We propose a new mechanism to explain the radio Arc and threads in the Galactic Center by current sheets produced by local magnetic shears due to interaction of a moving cloud and the vertical field based on three-dimensional magneto-hydrodynamical simulations. Magnetic reconnetion and acceleration of cosmic-ray electrons in the current sheet will result in high contrast of radio emissivity inside and outside the Arc and threads.
