Resistive relativistic MHD simulations of astrophysical jets
Giancarlo Mattia, Luca Del Zanna, Matteo Bugli +4
Aims. The main goal of the present paper is to provide the first systematic numerical study of the propagation of astrophysical relativistic jets, in the context of high-resolution…
A self-gravity module for the PLUTO code
Ankush Mandal, Dipanjan Mukherjee, Andrea Mignone
We present a novel implementation of an iterative solver for the solution of the Poisson equation in the PLUTO code for astrophysical fluid dynamics. Our solver relies on a relaxat…
Particle acceleration with Magnetic Reconnection in large scale RMHD simulations: I. Current sheet identification and characterization
Matteo Nurisso, Annalisa Celotti, Andrea Mignone +1
We present a new algorithm for the identification and physical characterization of current sheets and reconnection sites in 2D and 3D large scale relativisticmagnetohydrodynamic nu…
A guiding center implementation for relativistic particle dynamics in the PLUTO code
A. Mignone, H. Haudemand, E. Puzzoni
We present a numerical implementation of the guiding center approximation to describe the relativistic motion of charged test particles in the PLUTO code for astrophysical plasma d…
Jet-environment interplay in magnetized binary neutron star mergers
Andrea Pavan, Riccardo Ciolfi, Jay Vijay Kalinani +1
GRB 170817A, the first short gamma-ray burst (sGRB) to be detected in coincidence with a gravitational wave signal, demonstrated that merging binary neutron star (BNS) systems can…
The impact of resistive electric fields on particle acceleration in reconnection layers
E. Puzzoni, A. Mignone, G. Bodo
In the context of particle acceleration in high-energy astrophysical environments featuring magnetic reconnection, the importance of the resistive term of the electric field compar…
