Interaction of the electro-magnetic precursor from a relativistic shock with the upstream flow. I. Synchrotron absorption of strong electromagnetic waves
Yuri Lyubarsky
This paper is the first in the series of papers aiming to study interaction of the electro-magnetic precursor waves generated at the front of a relativistic shock with the upstream…
External Confinement and Surface Modes in Magnetised Force-Free Jets
E. Sobacchi, Y. E. Lyubarsky
In the paradigm of magnetic launching of astrophysical jets, instabilities in the MHD flow are a good candidate to convert the Poynting flux into the kinetic energy of the plasma.…
2D Relativistic MHD Simulations of the Kruskal-Schwarzschild Instability in a Relativistic Striped Wind
Ramandeep Gill, Jonathan Granot, Yuri Lyubarsky
We study the linear and non-linear development of the Kruskal-Schwarzchild Instability in a relativisitically expanding striped wind. This instability is the generalization of Rayl…
Kink Instability of Force-Free Jets: a Parameter Space Study
E. Sobacchi, Y. E. Lyubarsky, M. C. Sormani
In the paradigm of magnetic acceleration of relativistic jets, one of the key points is identifying a viable mechanism to convert the Poynting flux into the kinetic energy of the p…
