Global Magnetohydrodynamic Simulations of Monster Shocks in Neutron Star Magnetospheres
Michael P. Grehan, Bart Ripperda, Andrei M. Beloborodov +2
Waves launched from the neutron star surface or inner magnetosphere propagate through the magnetosphere as small perturbations, but can grow relative to the background magnetic fie…

Magnetic reconnection with a 0.1 rate: Effective resistivity in general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics
B. Ripperda, M. P. Grehan, A. Moran +5
Relativistic magnetic reconnection is thought to power various multi-wavelength emission signatures from neutron stars and black holes. Relativistic resistive magnetohydrodynamics…

Comparison of magnetic diffusion and reconnection in ideal and resistive relativistic magnetohydrodynamics, ideal magnetodynamics, and resistive force-free electrodynamics
Michael P. Grehan, Tanisha Ghosal, James R. Beattie +3
High-energy astrophysical systems and compact objects are frequently modeled using ideal relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) or force-free electrodynamic (FFE) simulations, with…
