Particle-acceleration mechanisms in multispecies relativistic plasmas
Claudio Meringolo, Mario Imbrogno, Alejandro Cruz-Osorio +2
While collisionless plasmas are ubiquitously present near astrophysical compact objects, the impact that their composition has on the high-energy emission is presently unknown. We…
FPIC: a new Particle-In-Cell code for stationary and axisymmetric black-hole spacetimes
Claudio Meringolo, Luciano Rezzolla
In this paper we present a newly developed GRPIC code framework called FPIC, providing a detailed description of the Maxwell-equations solver, of the particle ``pushers'', and of t…
Supermassive black-hole imaging with a self-consistent electron-temperature prescription
Alejandro Cruz-Osorio, Claudio Meringolo, Christian M. Fromm +5
The recent 230 GHz observations by the Event Horizon Telescope have resolved the innermost structure of the M87 galaxy, revealing a ring-like feature consistent with thermal synchr…
The Interaction of a Supernova Remnant with background interstellar turbulence
Giuseppe Prete, Silvia Perri, Claudio Meringolo +2
Supernova explosions (SNe) are among the most energetic events in the Universe. After the explosion, the material ejected by the Supernova expands throughout the interstellar mediu…
Microphysical Plasma Relations from Special-relativistic Turbulence
Claudio Meringolo, Alejandro Cruz-Osorio, Luciano Rezzolla +1
The microphysical, kinetic properties of astrophysical plasmas near accreting compact objects are still poorly understood. For instance, in modern general-relativistic magnetohydro…
