Simultaneous mm/X-ray intraday variability in the radio-quiet AGN MCG+08-11-11
P. O. Petrucci, V. Piétu, E. Behar +10
Most of the Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are radio-quiet (RQ) and, differently from radio-loud (RL) AGN, do not show signature of large-scale and powerful jets. The physical origin…
Plasmoid identification and statistics in two-dimensional Harris sheet and GRMHD simulations
Jesse Vos, Hector Olivares, Benoit Cerutti +1
Magnetic reconnection is a ubiquitous phenomenon for magnetized plasmas and leads to the rapid reconfiguration of magnetic field lines. During reconnection events, plasma is heated…
The current state of disk wind observations in BHLMXBs through X-ray absorption lines in the iron band
M. Parra, P. -O. Petrucci, S. Bianchi +3
The presence of blueshifted absorption lines in the X-ray spectra of Black Hole Low Mass X-ray Binaries is the telltale of massive outflows called winds. These signatures are found…
A kinetic study of black hole activation by local plasma injection into the inner magnetosphere
Idan Niv, Omer Bromberg, Amir Levinson +2
(Abridged) An issue of considerable interest in the theory of jet formation by the Blandford-Znajek mechanism, is how plasma is being continuously supplied to the magnetosphere to…
Classifying IGR J15038-6021 as a magnetic CV with a massive white dwarf
John A. Tomsick, Snehaa Ganesh Kumar, Benjamin M. Coughenour +8
Cataclysmic variables (CVs) are binary systems consisting of a white dwarf (WD) accreting matter from a companion star. Observations of CVs provide an opportunity to learn about ac…

A polarimetrically oriented X-ray stare at the accreting pulsar EXO 2030+375
Christian Malacaria, Jeremy Heyl, Victor Doroshenko +104
Accreting X-ray pulsars (XRPs) are presumably ideal targets for polarization measurements, as their high magnetic field strength is expected to polarize the emission up to a polari…
