Relativistic reconnection with effective resistivity: I. Dynamics and reconnection rate
M. Bugli, E. F. Lopresti, E. Figueiredo +6
Relativistic magnetic reconnection is one of the most fundamental mechanisms considered responsible for the acceleration of relativistic particles in astrophysical jets and magneto…
Magnetic deformation of neutron stars in scalar-tensor theories
J. Soldateschi, N. Bucciantini, L. Del Zanna
Scalar-tensor theories are among the most promising alternatives to general relativity that have been developed to account for some long standing issues in our understanding of gra…
Resistive magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the ideal tearing mode
Simone Landi, Luca Del Zanna, Emanuele Papini +2
We study the linear and nonlinear evolution of the tearing instability on thin current sheets by means of two-dimensional numerical simulations, within the framework of compressibl…
GRMHD in axisymmetric dynamical spacetimes: the X-ECHO code
N. Bucciantini, L. Del Zanna
We present a new numerical code, X-ECHO, for general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (GRMHD) in dynamical spacetimes. This is aimed at studying astrophysical situations where str…
Polarization in Pulsar Wind Nebulae
D. Volpi, L. Del Zanna, E. Amato +1
The main goal of our present work is to provide, for the first time, a simple computational tool that can be used to compute the brightness, the spectral index, the polarization, t…
Polarization in the inner region of Pulsar Wind Nebulae
N. Bucciantini, L. Del Zanna, E. amato +1
We present here the first effort to compute synthetic synchrotron polarization maps of Pulsar Wind Nebulae (PWNe). Our goal is to highlight how polarization can be used as an addit…
