Application of mesh refinement to relativistic magnetic reconnection
Revathi Jambunathan, Henry Jones, Lizzette Corrales +5
During relativistic magnetic reconnection, antiparallel magnetic fields undergo a rapid change in topology, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of non-thermal particle a…
Particle-in-Cell Simulations of Relativistic Magnetic Reconnection with Advanced Maxwell Solver Algorithms
Hannah Klion, Revathi Jambunathan, Michael E. Rowan +7
Relativistic magnetic reconnection is a non-ideal plasma process that is a source of non-thermal particle acceleration in many high-energy astrophysical systems. Particle-in-cell (…
The impact of r-process heating on the dynamics of neutron star merger accretion disc winds and their electromagnetic radiation
Hannah Klion, Alexander Tchekhovskoy, Daniel Kasen +3
Neutron star merger accretion discs can launch neutron-rich winds of . This ejecta is a prime site for r-process nucleosynthesis, which will produce a r…
The Effect of Jet-Ejecta Interaction on the Viewing Angle Dependence of Kilonova Light Curves
Hannah Klion, Paul C. Duffell, Daniel Kasen +1
The merger of two neutron stars produces an outflow of radioactive heavy nuclei. Within a second of merger, the central remnant is expected to also launch a relativistic jet, which…
Jet Dynamics in Compact Object Mergers: GW170817 Likely had a Successful Jet
Paul C. Duffell, Eliot Quataert, Daniel Kasen +1
We use relativistic hydrodynamic numerical calculations to study the interaction between a jet and a homologous outflow produced dynamically during binary neutron star mergers. We…
A Diagnostic for Localizing Red Giant Differential Rotation
Hannah Klion, Eliot Quataert
We present a simple diagnostic that can be used to constrain the location of the differential rotation in red giants with measured mixed mode rotational splittings. Specifically, i…
Super-Eddington Stellar Winds Driven by Near-Surface Energy Deposition
Eliot Quataert, Rodrigo Fernandez, Daniel Kasen +2
We develop analytic and numerical models of the properties of super-Eddington stellar winds, motivated by phases in stellar evolution when super-Eddington energy deposition (via, e…
Functional Limit Theorems for Toeplitz Quadratic Functionals of Continuous time Gaussian Stationary Processes
Shuyang Bai, Mamikon S. Ginovyan, Murad S. Taqqu
\noindent The paper establishes weak convergence in of normalized stochastic processes, generated by Toeplitz type quadratic functionals of a continuous time Gaussian stat…
Neutrino-driven Turbulent Convection and Standing Accretion Shock Instability in Three-Dimensional Core-Collapse Supernovae
E. Abdikamalov, C. D. Ott, D. Radice +6
We conduct a series of numerical experiments into the nature of three-dimensional (3D) hydrodynamics in the postbounce stalled-shock phase of core-collapse supernovae using 3D gene…
