Gamma-ray bursts as cool synchrotron sources
J. Michael Burgess, Damien Bégué, Ana Bacelj +3
Gamma-ray bursts are the most energetic electromagnetic sources in the Universe. Their prompt gamma-ray radiation corresponds to an energy release of 1E42-1E47J. Fifty years after…
EM counterparts of structured jets from 3D GRMHD simulations
Adithan Kathirgamaraju, Alexander Tchekhovskoy, Dimitrios Giannios +1
GW170817/GRB170817A has offered unprecedented insight into binary neutron star post-merger systems. Its Prompt and afterglow emission imply the presence of a tightly collimated rel…
Extreme scattering events from axisymmetric plasma lenses
Lingyi Dong, Maria Petropoulou, Dimitrios Giannios
Frequency-dependent brightness fluctuations of radio sources, the so-called extreme scattering events (ESEs), have been observed over the last three decades. They are caused by Gal…
A lesson from GW170817: most neutron star mergers result in tightly collimated successful GRB jets
Paz Beniamini, Maria Petropoulou, Rodolfo Barniol Duran +1
The joint detection of gravitational waves (GWs) and -rays from a binary neutron-star (NS) merger provided a unique view of off-axis GRBs and an independent measurement of the N…
Large-Amplitude Blazar Polarization Angle Swing as a Signature of Magnetic Reconnection
Haocheng Zhang, Xiaocan Li, Fan Guo +1
Relativistic magnetic reconnection events can widely exist in magnetized plasmas in astrophysical systems. During this process, oppositely directed magnetic field lines reconnect a…
Radiative Signatures of Plasmoid-Dominated Reconnection in Blazar Jets
I. M. Christie, M. Petropoulou, L. Sironi +1
The multi-wavelength spectral and temporal variability observed in blazars set tight constraints on current theoretical emission models. Here, we investigate the relativistic magne…
