Magnetic reconnection and plasmoid formation in three-dimensional accretion flows around black holes

Antonios Nathanail, Vasilis Mpisketzis, Oliver Porth +2

Magnetic reconnection is thought to be one of the main energy-dissipation mechanisms fueling energy to the plasma in the vicinity of a black hole. Indeed, plasmoids formed through…

X-ray signature of antistars in the Galaxy

A. E. Bondar, S. I. Blinnikov, A. M. Bykov +2

The existence of macroscopic objects from antimatter (antistars) is envisaged in some models of baryogenesis. Searches for antistars has been usually carried out in gamma-rays thro…

Light bending and X-ray echoes from behind a supermassive black hole

D. R. Wilkins, L. C. Gallo, E. Costantini +2

The innermost regions of accretion disks around black holes are strongly irradiated by X-rays that are emitted from a highly variable, compact corona, in the immediate vicinity of…

A NICER View of the Massive Pulsar PSR J0740+6620 Informed by Radio Timing and XMM-Newton Spectroscopy

Thomas E. Riley, Anna L. Watts, Paul S. Ray +27

We report on Bayesian estimation of the radius, mass, and hot surface regions of the massive millisecond pulsar PSR J07406620, conditional on pulse-profile modeling of Neutron S…

Particle acceleration and magnetic field amplification in massive young stellar object jets

Anabella Araudo, Marco Padovani, Alexandre Marcowith

Synchrotron radio emission from non-relativistic jets powered by massive protostars has been reported, indicating the presence of relativistic electrons and magnetic fields of stre…

Stellar transits across a magnetized accretion torus as a mechanism for plasmoid ejection

Petra Suková, Michal Zajaček, Vojtěch Witzany +1

The close neighbourhood of a supermassive black hole contains not only the accreting gas and dust but also stellar-sized objects, such as late-type and early-type stars and compact…
