Effects of Rotation on the Gravitational Momentum Transfer in Neutron-Star Kicks and Implications for Spin-Kick Alignment
Yiming Lu, Eric G. Blackman
Neutron stars are often born with large recoil velocities, or natal kicks, whose physical origin remains an open question in core-collapse supernova theory. Observations suggest th…
Constraining the origin of magnetic white dwarfs
Ananya Mohapatra, Eric G. Blackman
The origin of magnetic white dwarfs (MWDs) has been a long-standing puzzle. Proposed origin mechanisms have included: fossil fields frozen in from the progenitor convective core; a…
Fast Shocks From Magnetic Reconnection Outflows
Jared C. Workman, Eric G. Blackman, Chuang Ren
Magnetic reconnection is commonly perceived to drive flow and particle acceleration in flares of solar, stellar, and astrophysical disk coronae but the relative roles of different…
Formation of Turbulent Cones in Accretion Disk Outflows and Application to Broad Line Regions of Active Galactic Nuclei
A. Y. Poludnenko, E. G. Blackman, A. Frank
We consider the stability of an accretion disk wind to cloud formation when subject to a central radiation force. For a vertical launch velocity profile that is Keplerian or flatte…
Non-thermal Acceleration from Reconnection Shocks
Eric G. Blackman, George B. Field
Reconnection shocks in a magnetically dominated plasma must be compressive. Non-thermal ion acceleration can occur across built-in slow shocks, and across outflow fast shocks when…
