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…
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…
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…
A numerical study of the interplay between Fermi acceleration mechanisms in radio lobes of FR-II radio galaxies
Sayan Kundu, Bhargav Vaidya, Andrea Mignone +1
Context: Radio-loud AGNs are thought to possess various sites of particle acceleration, which gives rise to the observed non-thermal spectra. Stochastic turbulent acceleration (STA…
Making Fanaroff-Riley I radio sources III. The effects of the magnetic field on relativistic jets' propagation and source morphologies
S. Massaglia, G. Bodo, P. Rossi +2
Extragalactic radio sources appear under different morphologies, the most frequent ones are classified as Fanaroff-Riley type I (FR I), typically with lower luminosities, and Fanar…
