Notes. The enthalpy of the background plasma is h0,bg,s. Its cold magnetization is defined by Eq. (4), by Eq. (3), and σi + e(B) by Eq. (5). In all cases, we assume Γin ~ 1. The background plasma includes the guide field (). The Alfvén speeds (Sect. 2.3) do not take the temperature into account and are given in units of c. For the relativistic Alfvén speed, when there is a guide field we display the -projection: , with θ = arctanBG/B0.
