Supermassive binary black holes among cosmic gamma-ray sources
Frank M. Rieger
Supermassive binary black holes (SBBHs) are a natural outcome of galaxy mergers. Here we show that low-frequency ( Hz) quasi-periodic variability observed from cosm…

A microscopic analysis of shear acceleration
Frank M. Rieger, Peter Duffy
A microscopic analysis of the viscous energy gain of energetic particles in (gradual) non-relativistic shear flows is presented. We extend previous work and derive the Fokker-Planc…

Fermi acceleration in astrophysical jets
Frank M. Rieger, Valenti Bosch-Ramon, Peter Duffy
We consider the acceleration of energetic particles by Fermi processes (i.e., diffusive shock acceleration, second order Fermi acceleration, and gradual shear acceleration) in rela…
