Parabolic Jets from the Spinning Black Hole in M87
Masanori Nakamura, Keiichi Asada, Kazuhiro Hada +18
The M87 jet is extensively examined by utilizing general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulations as well as the steady axisymmetric force-free electrodynamic (FFE) sol…
Detection of polarized gamma-ray emission from the Crab nebula with Hitomi Soft Gamma-ray Detector
Hitomi Collaboration, Felix Aharonian, Hiroki Akamatsu +191
We present the results from the Hitomi Soft Gamma-ray Detector (SGD) observation of the Crab nebula. The main part of SGD is a Compton camera, which in addition to being a spectrom…
The origin of polarization in kilonovae and the case of the gravitational-wave counterpart AT 2017gfo
M. Bulla, S. Covino, K. Kyutoku +8
The Gravitational Wave (GW) event GW 170817 was generated by the coalescence of two neutron stars (NS) and produced an electromagnetic transient, labelled AT 2017gfo, that was targ…
Discovery of Kolmogorov-like Magnetic Energy Spectrum in Tycho's Supernova Remnant by Two-point Correlations of Synchrotron Intensity
Jiro Shimoda, Takuya Akahori, A. Lazarian +2
The spectral slope of the magnetic energy in supernova remnants (SNRs) can be obtained by analysis of spatial two-point correlation functions of synchrotron intensities. This metho…
Confinement of the Crab Nebula with tangled magnetic field by its supernova remnant
Shuta J. Tanaka, Kenji Toma, Nozomu Tominaga
A pulsar wind is a relativistic outflow dominated by Poynting energy at its base. Based on the standard ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model of pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) with the…
Hitomi X-ray Observation of the Pulsar Wind Nebula G21.50.9
Hitomi Collaboration, Felix Aharonian, Hiroki Akamatsu +194
We present results from the Hitomi X-ray observation of a young composite-type supernova remnant (SNR) G21.50.9, whose emission is dominated by the pulsar wind nebula (PWN) cont…
Fast-spinning black holes inferred from symmetrically limb-brightened radio jets
Kazuya Takahashi, Kenji Toma, Motoki Kino +2
This paper theoretically investigates the relations between the structure of relativistic jets and produced synchrotron images, by using a steady axisymmetric force-free jet model.…
