High-Energy Neutrino Emission from a Radiatively Inefficient Accretion Flow with a three-dimensional GRMHD Simulation

Tomohisa Kawashima, Katsuaki Asano

The high-energy particle production in the accretion flow onto black holes can be a key physics to explain the high-energy neutrino background. While the single-zone approximation…

TeV Afterglow of BOAT GRB without Jet Break

Yo Kusafuka, Katsuaki Asano

We present a new model for the TeV afterglow of GRB 221009A. The rapid increase of the TeV flux in the very early phase is reproduced by the magnetic acceleration. We consider the…

Radiation Process in Relativistic MHD Waves: the Case of Circularly Polarized Alfvén Wave

Ryota Goto, Katsuaki Asano

Turbulence in highly magnetized plasma can be relativistic and induce an electric field comparable to the background magnetic field. Such a strong electric field can affect the emi…
