Compact radio galaxies: the case of FR0s
R. D. Baldi, A. Capetti, G. Giovannini +20
Fanaroff-Riley type 0 (FR0) radio galaxies, a newly-identified and abundant population of low-power radio-loud active galactic nuclei, present a significant challenge to our unders…
The PLUTO Code on GPUs: Offloading Lagrangian Particle Methods
Alessio Suriano, Stefano Truzzi, Agnese Costa +5
The Lagrangian Particles (LP) module of the PLUTO code offers a powerful simulation tool to predict the non-thermal emission produced by shock accelerated particles in large-scale…
Instabilities at recollimation shocks in MHD jets
Stella Boula, Fabrizio Tavecchio, Gianluigi Bodo +4
AGN jet structure and stability remain uncertain; recollimation shocks are linked to morphology and variability, but the role of downstream instabilities is still unclear. We aim t…
How do recollimation-induced instabilities shape the propagation of hydrodynamic relativistic jets?
A. Costa, G. Bodo, F. Tavecchio +4
Recollimation is a phenomenon of particular importance in the dynamic evolution of jets and in the emission of high-energy radiation. Additionally, the full comprehension of this p…
The polarization of the synchrotron radiation from a recollimated jet: application to high-energy BL Lacs
Alberto Sciaccaluga, Agnese Costa, Fabrizio Tavecchio +3
Multifrequency polarimetry, recently extended to the X-ray band thanks to the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) satellite, is an essential tool for understanding blazar jet…
