Magnetic acceleration of ultra-relativistic jets in gamma-ray burst sources
Serguei Komissarov, Nektarios Vlahakis, Arieh Konigl +1
We present a relativistic-MHD numerical study of axisymmetric, magnetically driven jets with parameters applicable to gamma-ray burst (GRB) flows. We also present analytic expressi…

Hyper-accreting tori of Gamma Ray Bursters
M. V. Barkov
We present numerical simulations of axisymmetric magnetised massive tori around rotating black holes taking into account the energy losses due to emission of neutrinos. A realistic…

Magnetic acceleration of ultra-relativistic GRB and AGN jets
Maxim V. Barkov, Serguei S. Komissarov
We present numerical simulations of cold, axisymmetric, magnetically driven relativistic outflows. The outflows are initially sub-Alfvénic and Poynting flux-dominated, with total--…
