本文研究了相对论对等离子体中二维Sweet-Parker和Petschek重联模型的相对论推广。结果表明，如果从电阻区流出的速度接近相对论阿尔芬速度，从洛伦兹收缩流出的密度增加允许更快的流入，从而更快的速度比在非相对论制度的磁能耗散。我们简要地建议应用这一结果。
We study the relativistic generalizations of two-dimensional Sweet-Parker and Petschek reconnection models in the context of a relativistic pair plasma. The solutions show that if the outflow velocity from the resistive region approaches the relativistic Alfven speed, the outflow density increase from Lorentz contraction allows a much faster inflow and thus a faster rate of magnetic energy dissipation than in the nonrelativistic regime. We briefly suggest applications of this result.
