Discovery of a New Electron Spectrum Produced by Fast Cooling of Relativistic Electrons
Result: In the fast-cooling regime below the minimum injection Lorentz factor (), the time-evolving cooled electron spectrum follows the smooth broken power-law form , scaling asymptotically as for and for . For pure synchrotron cooling with and injection rate , , , and ; with adiabatic cooling included (expansion ), and .

Coherent Radio Emission from Flux Rope Mergers in 3D Relativistic Reconnection
Result: Coherent fast magnetosonic waves are stably excited via flux rope mergers in 3D relativistic reconnection, yielding a radiation efficiency of for and for moderate guide fields (). The escaping radiation is 100% linearly polarized X-mode (), with a polarization angle offset between opposite sides of the sheet of .
