Synthetic pulsar lightcurves from global kinetic simulations and comparison with the Fermi-LAT catalog
Benoît Cerutti, Enzo Figueiredo, Guillaume Dubus
Rotation-powered pulsars represent the main class of identified gamma-ray sources in the Galaxy. The wealth of observational data collected by the AGILE and Fermi gamma-ray space t…
Enhanced particle acceleration in a pulsar wind interacting with a companion
Valentina Richard-Romei, Benoît Cerutti
Pulsar winds have been shown to be preferred sites of particle acceleration and high-energy radiation. Numerous studies have been conducted to better characterize the general struc…
Kinetic simulations and gamma-ray signatures of Klein-Nishina relativistic magnetic reconnection
J. Mehlhaff, G. Werner, B. Cerutti +2
Black hole and neutron star environments often comprise collisionless plasmas immersed in strong magnetic fields and intense baths of low-frequency radiation. In such conditions, r…
A kinetic study of black hole activation by local plasma injection into the inner magnetosphere
Idan Niv, Omer Bromberg, Amir Levinson +2
(Abridged) An issue of considerable interest in the theory of jet formation by the Blandford-Znajek mechanism, is how plasma is being continuously supplied to the magnetosphere to…
Reconnection-driven flares in 3D black hole magnetospheres -- A scenario for hot spots around Sagittarius A*
I. El Mellah, B. Cerutti, B. Crinquand
Low-luminosity supermassive and stellar-mass black holes (BHs) may be embedded in a collisionless and highly magnetized plasma. They show non-thermal flares indicative of efficient…
Extreme ion acceleration at extragalactic jet termination shocks
Benoît Cerutti, Gwenael Giacinti
Extragalactic plasma jets are some of the few astrophysical environments able to confine ultra-high-energy cosmic rays, but whether they are capable of accelerating these particles…
