Relativistic wind from a magnetic monopole rotator
Rui Hu, Andrei M. Beloborodov, Alexander Y. Chen
A rotating star with a monopole (or split monopole) magnetic field gives the simplest, prototype model of a rotationally driven stellar wind. Winds from compact objects, in particu…
Radiation GRMHD simulations of M87: funnel properties and prospects for gap acceleration
Philippe Z. Yao, Jason Dexter, Alexander Y. Chen +2
We use the public code ebhlight to carry out 3D radiative general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (GRMHD) simulations of accretion onto the supermassive black hole in M87. The si…
Coherent emission from QED cascades in pulsar polar caps
Fábio Cruz, Thomas Grismayer, Alexander Y. Chen +2
Pulsar magnetospheres are thought to be filled with electron-positron plasma generated in pair cascades. The driving mechanism of these cascades is the emission of gamma-ray photon…
