Radiative magnetic reconnection in black hole and neutron star magnetospheres.

ORAL

Abstract

In this talk I will review recent progress in modeling magnetic reconnection in the regime of dynamically important radiative losses. I will highlight applications to modeling multi-wavelength non-thrermal emission from neutron stars and flares from accreting supermassive black holes.
