Relativistically Magnetized Collisionless Shocks in Pair Plasma: I. Solitons, Chaos, and Thermalization
Arno Vanthieghem, Amir Levinson
In this paper, the first in a series, we present a new theoretical model for the global structure and dissipation of relativistically magnetized collisionless shock waves. Quite re…
Generation of Large-scale Magnetic Fields Upstream of Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglow Shocks
Ryan Golant, Arno Vanthieghem, Daniel Groselj +1
The origins of the magnetic fields that power gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglow emission are not fully understood. One possible channel for generating these fields involves the pre-c…
Electron-Ion Temperature Ratio in Transrelativistic Unmagnetized Shock Waves
Arno Vanthieghem, Vasileios Tsiolis, Frederico Fiuza +3
Weakly magnetized shock waves are paramount to a large diversity of environments, including supernova remnants, blazars, and binary-neutron-star mergers. Understanding the distribu…
Fast radio bursts as precursor radio emission from monster shocks
Arno Vanthieghem, Amir Levinson
It has been proposed recently that the breaking of MHD waves in the inner magnetosphere of strongly magnetized neutron stars can power different types of high-energy transients. Mo…
Electron heating in high Mach number collisionless shocks
Arno Vanthieghem, Vasileios Tsiolis, Anatoly Spitkovsky +3
The energy partition in high Mach number collisionless shock waves is central to a wide range of high-energy astrophysical environments. We present a new theoretical model for elec…
