Scientific paper

Reconnection of magnetic field lines for a wide range of parameters in the relativistic regime is considered. A newly developed covariant fluid model for magnetized plasmas, incorporating pressure anisotropy, is used to expand the study of the Petschek-type reconnection in a pair-plasma governed by slow-mode shocks. The plasma parameters are found to be strongly modified by anisotropy on both sides of the shock.
