Revisiting the Growth Rate of the Relativistic Tearing Instability: The Role of the Non-ideal MHD Structure

Magnetic reconnection in magnetically dominated pair plasmas is a key process in high-energy astrophysical systems. We revisit the relativistic tearing instability in a Harris current sheet and derive an improved analytical expression for its linear growth rate and the most unstable wavenumber. The key modification is...
