Ergomagnetosphere, Ejection Disc, Magnetopause in M87. I Global Flow of Mass, Angular Momentum, Energy and Current

Roger Blandford, Noemie Globus

We interpret the 1.3mm VLBI observations made by the Event Horizon Telescope of the black hole in M87. It is proposed that, instead of being a torus of accreting gas, the observed…

Neutral Gas within 20,000 Schwarzschild radii of Sagittarius A*

Elena M. Murchikova, Tianshu Wang, Brian Mason +1

Murchikova et al 2019 discovered a disk of cool ionized gas within 20,000 Schwarzschild radii of the Milky Way's Galactic Center black hole Sagittarius A*. They further demonstrate…

Polarized muons and the origin of biological homochirality

Noemie Globus, Roger D. Blandford, Anatoli Fedynitch

While biologists have not yet reached a consensus on the definition of life, homochirality - the specific molecular handedness of biomolecules - is a phenomenon only produced by li…

MP3 White Paper 2021 -- Research Opportunities Enabled by Co-locating Multi-Petawatt Lasers with Dense Ultra-Relativistic Electron Beams

Sebastian Meuren, David A. Reis, Roger Blandford +11

Novel emergent phenomena are expected to occur under conditions exceeding the QED critical electric field, where the vacuum becomes unstable to electron-positron pair production. T…

Polarized radiation and the Emergence of Biological Homochirality on Earth and Beyond

Noemie Globus, Anatoli Fedynitch, Roger D. Blandford

It has been proposed that spin-polarized cosmic radiation can induce asymmetric changes in helical biopolymers that may account for the emergence of biological homochirality. The p…

The Relativistic Jet Orientation and Host Galaxy of the Peculiar Blazar PKS 1413+135

A. C. S. Readhead, V. Ravi, I. Liodakis +26

PKS 1413+135 is one of the most peculiar blazars known. Its strange properties led to the hypothesis almost four decades ago that it is gravitationally lensed by a mass concentrati…
