Reconnection rate as a function of the shear-flow four-velocity, U_s, in units of the Alfvén four-velocity, $U_{A} = \sqrt{σ_{d}}$ ${U\!}_{\mathrm{A}}=\sqrt{\sigma_d}$ . The rates are normalized (separately for σ_d = 1 and σ_d = 10) to the U_s = 0 rate denoted as β_rec, 0. The error bars represent our estimated relative uncertainty of 10% through occurrences of a given run as described in Sect. 2.3.
