Minimum Energies and Magnetic Field Strengths of Edge-brightened Compact Symmetric Objects

Tirth D. Surti, Martijn S. S. L. Oei, Anthony C. S. Readhead +1

Compact symmetric objects (CSOs) are subkiloparsec radio sources with two-sided emission about a core resulting from jets that are not relativistically beamed towards the observer.…

X-ray Polarization of the Intrabinary Shock in Redback Pulsar J17232837

Andrew G. Sullivan, Jack T. Dinsmore, Roger W. Romani

The intrabinary shocks (IBS) in spider pulsars emit non-thermal synchrotron X-rays from accelerated electrons and positrons in the shocked pulsar wind, likely energized by magnetic…

Polarized Emission of Intrabinary Shocks in Spider Pulsars from Global 3D Kinetic Simulations

Andrew G. Sullivan, Jorge Cortés, Lorenzo Sironi

In spider pulsar systems, a relativistic intrabinary shock forms when the pulsar wind collides with the massive outflow driven off the pulsar's low-mass stellar companion. The shoc…

High Energy Emission from the Intrabinary Shocks in Redback Pulsars

Andrew G. Sullivan, Roger W. Romani

The intrabinary shocks (IBS) of spider pulsars emit non-thermal synchrotron X-rays from accelerated electrons and positrons in the shocked pulsar wind, likely energized by magnetic…

The Intrabinary Shock and Companion Star of Redback Pulsar J2215+5135

Andrew G. Sullivan, Roger W. Romani

PSR J2215+5135 (J2215) is a `redback' spider pulsar, where the intrabinary shock (IBS) wraps around the pulsar rather than the stellar-mass companion. Spider orbital light curves a…

Small-scale radio jets and tidal disruption events: A theory of high-luminosity compact symmetric objects

Andrew G. Sullivan, Roger D. Blandford, Mitchell C. Begelman +2

Double lobe radio sources associated with active galactic nuclei represent one of the longest studied groups in radio astronomy. A particular sub-group of double radio sources comp…

Polarization of Intrabinary Shock Emission in Spider Pulsars

Andrew G. Sullivan, Roger W. Romani

In `spider' pulsars, the X-ray band is dominated by Intrabinary Shock (IBS) synchrotron emission. While the double-peaked X-ray light curves from these shocks have been well charac…
