Magnetically driven coupling in relativistic radiation-mediated shocks
J. F. Mahlmann, A. Vanthieghem, A. A. Philippov +3
The radiation drag in photon-rich environments of cosmic explosions can seed kinetic instabilities by inducing velocity spreads between relativistically streaming plasma components…
Origin of intense electron heating in relativistic blast waves
Arno Vanthieghem, Martin Lemoine, Laurent Gremillet
The modeling of gamma-ray burst afterglow emission bears witness to strong electron heating in the precursor of Weibel-mediated, relativistic collisionless shock waves propagating…
The role of plasma instabilities in relativistic radiation mediated shocks: stability analysis and particle-in-cell simulations
Arno Vanthieghem, Jens F. Mahlmann, Amir Levinson +3
Relativistic radiation mediated shocks (RRMS) likely form in prodigious cosmic explosions. The structure and emission of such shocks is regulated by copious production of electron-…
