Synthetic gamma-ray lightcurves of Kerr black-hole magnetospheric activity from particle-in-cell simulations
Benjamin Crinquand, Benoît Cerutti, Guillaume Dubus +2
Context: The origin of ultra-rapid flares of very high-energy radiation from active galactic nuclei remains elusive. Magnetospheric processes, occurring in the close vicinity of th…

Multi-dimensional simulations of ergospheric pair discharges around black holes
Benjamin Crinquand, Benoît Cerutti, Alexander Philippov +2
Black holes are known to launch powerful relativistic jets and emit highly variable gamma radiation. How these jets are loaded with plasma remains poorly understood. Spark gaps are…
