Multiwavelength Variability Signatures of Relativistic Shocks in Blazar Jets

Markus Boettcher, Matthew G Baring

Mildly-relativistic shocks that are embedded in colliding magnetohydrodynamic flows are prime sites for relativistic particle acceleration and production of strongly variable, pola…

The Fast Radio Burst Luminosity Function and Death Line in the Low-Twist Magnetar Model

Zorawar Wadiasingh, Paz Beniamini, Andrey Timokhin +4

We explore the burst energy distribution of fast radio bursts (FRBs) in the low-twist magnetar model of Wadiasingh and Timokhin (2019). Motivated by the power-law fluence distribut…

Discovery and Identification of MAXI J1621-501 as a Type I X-ray Burster with a Super-Orbital Period

Nicholas M. Gorgone, Chryssa Kouveliotou, Hitoshi Negoro +26

MAXI J1621-501 is the first Swift/XRT Deep Galactic Plane Survey transient that was followed up with a multitude of space missions (NuSTAR, Swift, Chandra, NICER, INTEGRAL, and MAX…

Opacities for Photon Splitting and Pair Creation in Neutron Star Magnetospheres

Kun Hu, Matthew G. Baring, Zorawar Wadiasingh +1

Over the last four decades, persistent and flaring emission of magnetars observed by various telescopes has provided us with a suite of light curves and spectra in soft and hard X-…

Spectral Variability Signatures of Relativistic Shocks in Blazars

Markus Boettcher, Matthew G. Baring

Mildly relativistic, oblique shocks are frequently invoked as possible sites of relativistic particle acceleration and production of strongly variable, polarized multi-wavelength e…
