Synthetic Spectra from Particle-in-cell Simulations of Relativistic Jets containing an initial Toroidal Magnetic Field
Ioana Dutan, Kenichi Nishikawa, Athina Meli +6
The properties of relativistic jets, their interaction with the environment, and their emission of radiation can be self-consistently studied by using collisionless particle-in-cel…
Quasi-perpendicular shocks of galaxy clusters in hybrid kinetic simulations: The structure of the shocks
S. S. Boula, J. Niemiec, T. Amano +1
Context: Cosmic ray acceleration in galaxy clusters is still an ongoing puzzle, with relativistic electrons forming radio relics at merger shocks and emitting synchrotron radiation…
Nonthermal Electron Acceleration at Collisionless Quasi-perpendicular Shocks
T. Amano, Y. Matsumoto, A. Bohdan +6
Shock waves propagating in collisionless heliospheric and astrophysical plasmas have been studied extensively over the decades. One prime motivation is to understand the nonthermal…
Electron Acceleration at Rippled Low-Mach-number Shocks in High-beta Collisionless Cosmic Plasmas
Oleh Kobzar, Jacek Niemiec, Takanobu Amano +4
Using large-scale fully-kinetic two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations, we investigate the effects of shock rippling on electron acceleration at low-Mach-number shocks propag…
Mildly relativistic magnetized shocks in electron-ion plasmas -- II. Particle acceleration and heating
Arianna Ligorini, Jacek Niemiec, Oleh Kobzar +7
Particle acceleration and heating at mildly relativistic magnetized shocks in electron-ion plasma are investigated with unprecedentedly high-resolution two-dimensional particle-in-…
Mildly relativistic magnetized shocks in electron-ion plasmas I. Electromagnetic shock structure
Arianna Ligorini, Jacek Niemiec, Oleh Kobzar +8
Mildly relativistic shocks in magnetized electron-ion plasmas are investigated with 2D kinetic particle-in-cell simulations of unprecedentedly high resolution and large scale for c…
