Baryon loading and the Weibel instability in gamma-ray bursts
M. Fiore, L. O. Silva, C. Ren +2
The dynamics of two counter-streaming electron-positron-ion unmagnetized plasma shells with zero net charge is analyzed in the context of magnetic field generation in GRB internal…
Long-time evolution of magnetic fields in relativistic GRB shocks
Mikhail V. Medvedev, Massimiliano Fiore, Ricardo A. Fonseca +2
We investigate the long-time evolution of magnetic fields generated by the two-stream instability at ultra- and sub-relativistic astrophysical collisionless shocks. Based on 3D PIC…
Kinetics of Particles in Relativistic Collisionless Shocks
Mikhail V. Medvedev, Luis O. Silva, Ricardo A. Fonseca +2
Charged plasma particles form an anisotropic counter-streaming distribution at the front of a shock. In the near- and ultra-relativistic regimes, Weibel (or two-stream) instability…
