Particle acceleration in the polar cap region of an oscillating neutron star
Olindo Zanotti, Viktoriya Morozova, Bobomurat Ahmedov
We revisit particle acceleration in the polar cap region of a neutron star by taking into account both general relativistic effects and the presence of toroidal oscillations at the…
Numerical simulations of relativistic magnetic reconnection with Galerkin methods
Olindo Zanotti, Michael Dumbser
We present the results of two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamical numerical simulations of relativistic magnetic reconnection, with particular emphasis on the dynamics of Petschek-ty…
On the detectability of dual jets from binary black holes
Philipp Moesta, Daniela Alic, Luciano Rezzolla +2
We revisit the suggestion that dual jets can be produced during the inspiral and merger of supermassive black holes when these are immersed in a force-free plasma threaded by a uni…
Electromagnetic counterparts from counter-rotating relativistic kicked discs
Olindo Zanotti
We show the results of two dimensional general relativistic inviscid and isothermal hydrodynamical simulations comparing the behavior of co-rotating (with respect to the black hole…
Explaining radio emission of magnetars via rotating and oscillating magnetospheres of neutron stars
Viktoriya Morozova, Bobomurat Ahmedov, Olindo Zanotti
We investigate the conditions for radio emission in rotating and oscillating magnetars, by focusing on the main physical processes determining the position of their death-lines in…
Oscillations of relativistic axisymmetric tori and implications for modelling kHz-QPOs in neutron-star X-ray binaries
Pedro J. Montero, Olindo Zanotti
We perform a global linear perturbative analysis, and investigate the oscillation properties of relativistic, non-selfgravitating tori orbiting around neutron stars in the slow rot…
