The stringent upper limit on jet power in the persistent soft state source 4U~1957+11
Thomas J. Maccarone, Arlo Osler, James C. A. Miller-Jones +5
We present extremely deep upper limits on the radio emission from 4U~1957+11, an X-ray binary that is generally believed to be a persistently accreting black hole that is almost al…
A new method for extending solutions to the self-similar relativistic magnetohydrodynamics equations for black hole outflows
Chiara Ceccobello, Yuri Cavecchi, Martin H. M. Heemskerk +3
The paradigm in which magnetic fields play a crucial role in launching/collimating outflows in many astrophysical objects continues to gain support. However, semi-analytical models…
Living on a Flare: Relativistic Reflection in V404 Cyg Observed by NuSTAR During its Summer 2015 Outburst
D. J. Walton, K. Mooley, A. L. King +19
We present first results from a series of observations of the black hole X-ray binary V404 Cyg obtained during its summer 2015 outburst, primarily focusing on observations…
Studies of the Jet in BL Lacertae I. Recollimation Shock and Moving Emission Features
M. H. Cohen, D. L. Meier, T. G. Arshakian +7
Parsec-scale VLBA images of BL Lac at 15 GHz show that the jet contains a permanent quasi-stationary emission feature 0.26 mas (0.34 pc projected) from the core, along with numerou…
A Magnetohydrodynamic Model of The M87 Jet. II. Self-consistent Quad-shock Jet Model for Optical Relativistic Motions and Particle Acceleration
Masanori Nakamura, David L. Meier
We describe a new paradigm for understanding both relativistic motions and particle acceleration in the M87 jet: a magnetically dominated relativistic flow that naturally produces…
Linking accretion flow and particle acceleration in jets - II. Self-similar jet models with full relativistic MHD gravitational mass
Peter Polko, David L. Meier, Sera Markoff
We present a new, semi-analytic formalism to model the acceleration and collimation of relativistic jets in a gravitational potential. The gravitational energy density includes the…
