Gamma Ray Bursts as Electromagnetic Outflows
Maxim Lyutikov, Roger Blandford
(Abridged) We interpret gamma ray bursts as relativistic, electromagnetic explosions. Specifically, we propose that they are created when a rotating, relativistic, stellar-mass pro…
A model for electromagnetic extraction of rotational energy and formation of accretion-powered jets in radio galaxies
A. Hujeirat, R. Blandford
A self-similar solution for the 3D axi-symmetric radiative MHD equations, which revisits the formation and acceleration of accretion-powered jets in AGNs and microquasars, is prese…
Two Dimensional Adiabatic Flows onto a Black Hole: I. Fluid Accretion
Roger D. Blandford, Mitchell C. Begelman
When gas accretes onto a black hole, at a rate either much less than or much greater than the Eddington rate, it is likely to do so in an "adiabatic" or radiatively inefficient man…
Locating the Launching Region of T Tauri Winds: The Case of DG Tau
Jeffrey M. Anderson, Zhi-Yun Li, Ruben Krasnopolsky +1
It is widely believed that T Tauri winds are driven magnetocentrifugally from accretion disks close to the central stars. The exact launching conditions are uncertain. We show that…
X-ray astronomy in the new Millenium. A Summary
Roger Blandford
Recent X-ray observations have had a major impact on topics ranging from protostars to cosmology. They have also drawn attention to important and general physical processes that cu…
