Constraining Active Galactic Nucleus Jets with Spectrum and Core Shift: The Case of M87

Kouichi Hirotani, Hsien Shang, Ruben Krasnopolsky +3

We analytically model stationary and axisymmetric active galactic nucleus jets, assuming energy conservation along each magnetic flux tube. Using very-long-baseline interferometry…

R-JET: A postprocessing code for radiative transport in relativistic jets

Kouichi Hirotani, Hsien Shang, Ruben Krasnopolsky +1

We describe a post-processing radiative transport code for computing the spectra, the coreshift, and the surface-brightness distribution of special relativistic jets with arbitrary…

Synthetic Spectra from Particle-in-cell Simulations of Relativistic Jets containing an initial Toroidal Magnetic Field

Ioana Dutan, Kenichi Nishikawa, Athina Meli +6

The properties of relativistic jets, their interaction with the environment, and their emission of radiation can be self-consistently studied by using collisionless particle-in-cel…

Formation of limb-brightened radio jets by angle-dependent energy extraction from rapidly rotating black holes

Kouichi Hirotani, Hsien Shang, Ruben Krasnopolsky +1

By general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations, it is suggested that the rotational energy of a rapidly rotating black hole (BH) is preferentially extracted along the magn…

Detection of the 2021 Outburst of RS Ophiuchi with the LST-1

Yukiho Kobayashi, Arnau Aguasca-Cabot, María Isabel Bernardos Martín +2

Novae are luminous explosions in close binaries which host a white dwarf and a companion donor star. They are triggered by a thermonuclear runaway when the white dwarf accretes a c…

Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes pointing determination using the trajectories of the stars in the field of view

Mykhailo Dalchenko, Matthieu Heller

We present a new approach to the pointing determination of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs). This method is universal and can be applied to any IACT with minor modi…
