Kinetic simulations of the Kruskal-Schwarzchild instability in accelerating striped outflows I: Dynamics and energy dissipation
William Groger, Hayk Hakobyan, Lorenzo Sironi
Astrophysical relativistic outflows are launched as Poynting-flux-dominated, yet the mechanism governing efficient magnetic dissipation, which powers the observed emission, is stil…
Escape of fast radio bursts from magnetars
Emanuele Sobacchi, Masanori Iwamoto, Lorenzo Sironi +1
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are bright extragalactic transients likely produced by magnetars. We study the propagation of FRBs in magnetar winds, assuming that the wind is strongly ma…
Propagation of strong electromagnetic waves in tenuous plasmas
Emanuele Sobacchi, Masanori Iwamoto, Lorenzo Sironi +1
We study the propagation of electromagnetic waves in tenuous plasmas, where the wave frequency, , is much larger than the plasma frequency, . We show that in pair p…
