Relativistic Shear Flow Between Electron-Ion and Electron-Positron Plasmas and Astrophysical Applications

Edison Liang, Wen Fu, Markus Böttcher

We present Particle-in-Cell simulation results of relativistic shear boundary layers between electron-ion and electron-positron plasmas and discuss their potential applications to…

Burst and Outburst Characteristics of Magnetar 4U 0142+61

Ersin Gogus, Lin Lin, Oliver J. Roberts +10

We have compiled the most comprehensive burst sample from magnetar 4U 0142+61, comprising 27 bursts from its three burst-active episodes in 2011, 2012 and the latest one in 2015 ob…

SN 1978K: An evolved supernova outside our Local Group detected at millimetre wavelengths

S. D. Ryder, R. Kotak, I. A. Smith +3

Supernova 1978K is one of the oldest-known examples of the class of Type IIn supernovae that show evidence for strong interaction between the blast wave and a dense, pre-existing c…

Learning About the Magnetar Swift J1834.9-0846 from its Wind Nebula

Jonathan Granot, Ramandeep Gill, George Younes +4

The first wind nebula around a magnetar was recently discovered in X-rays around Swift~J1834.90846. We study this magnetar's global energetics and the properties of its particle…

Probing Acceleration and Turbulence at Relativistic Shocks in Blazar Jets

Matthew G. Baring, Markus Böttcher, Errol J. Summerlin

Diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) at relativistic shocks is widely thought to be an important acceleration mechanism in various astrophysical jet sources, including radio-loud act…

Very High Energy outburst of Markarian 501 in May 2009

E. Aliu, S. Archambault, A. Archer +108

The very high energy (VHE; E 100 GeV) blazar Markarian 501 was observed between April 17 and May 5 (MJD 54938--54956), 2009, as part of an extensive multi-wavelength campaign f…

Searching the Gamma-ray Sky for Counterparts to Gravitational Wave Sources: Fermi GBM and LAT Observations of LVT151012 and GW151226

J. L. Racusin, E. Burns, A. Goldstein +138

We present the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) and Large Area Telescope (LAT) observations of the LIGO binary black hole merger event GW151226 and candi- date LVT151012. No can…

Radiative transfer simulations of magnetar flare beaming

T. van Putten, A. L. Watts, M. G. Baring +1

Magnetar giant flares show oscillatory modulations in the tails of their light curves, which can only be explained via some form of beaming. The fireball model for magnetar bursts…

The Shock Dynamics of Heterogeneous YSO Jets: 3-D Simulations Meet Multi-Epoch Observations

E. C. Hansen, A. Frank, P. Hartigan +1

High resolution observations of Young Stellar Object (YSO) jets show them to be composed of many small-scale knots or clumps. In this paper we report results of 3-D numerical simul…
