Observational Signatures of Mass-Loading in Jets Launched by Rotating Black Holes
Michael O' Riordan, Asaf Pe'er, Jonathan C. McKinney
It is widely believed that relativistic jets in X-ray binaries and active-galactic nuclei are powered by the rotational energy of black holes. This idea is supported by general-rel…
Microscopic Processes in Global Relativistic Jets Containing Helical Magnetic Fields: Dependence on Jet Radius
Ken-Ichi Nishikawa, Yosuke Mizuno, Jose L. Gomez +12
In this study we investigate jet interaction at a microscopic level in a cosmological environment, which responds to a key open question in the study of relativistic jets. Using sm…
Blazar Variability From Turbulence in Jets Launched by Magnetically Arrested Accretion Flows
Michael O' Riordan, Asaf Pe'er, Jonathan C. McKinney
Blazars show variability on timescales ranging from minutes to years, the former being comparable to and in some cases even shorter than the light-crossing time of the central blac…
Prospects for CTA observations of the young SNR RX J1713.7-3946
The CTA Consortium, :, F. Acero +381
We perform simulations for future Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) observations of RX~J1713.73946, a young supernova remnant (SNR) and one of the brightest sources ever discovere…
Kinetic inhibition of MHD-shocks in the vicinity of a parallel magnetic field
Antoine Bret, Asaf Pe'er, Lorenzo Sironi +2
According to magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), the encounter of two collisional magnetized plasmas at high velocity gives rise to shock waves. Investigations conducted so far have found…
