Observational Biases and Improved Modelling of Off-axis Relativistic Jets
A. J. Cooper, A. P. Scott, L. Rhodes +8
Relativistic Doppler boosting significantly affects the observed emission of astrophysical jets resulting in observational biases. In this work we investigate the observational bia…
The impact of flickering variability and magnetisation on the dynamics, stability and morphology of radio-loud AGN jets
Emma L. Elley, James H. Matthews, Henry Whitehead +1
The physics governing the morphology of radio-loud AGN jets is not fully understood. We investigate how magnetization, flickering jet power and their interplay affects the morpholo…
Dynamic shocks powered by a wide, relativistic, super-Eddington outflow launched by an accreting neutron star in the mid-20th century
F. J. Cowie, R. P. Fender, I. Heywood +11
Accreting systems can launch powerful outflows which interact with the surrounding medium. We combine new radio observations of the accreting neutron star X-ray binary (XRB) Circin…
Cosmic rays, gamma rays and neutrinos from discrete black hole X-ray binary ejecta
Nicolas J. Bacon, Alex J. Cooper, Dimitrios Kantzas +2
The origin of cosmic rays from outside the Solar system are unknown, as they are deflected by the interstellar magnetic field. Supernova remnants are the main candidate for cosmic…
Exploring the potential for ultra-relativistic jets in Scorpius X-1 with low angular resolution radio observations
I. Stephens, L. Rhodes, A. J. Cooper +2
Scorpius X-1 (Sco X-1) is a neutron star X-ray binary in which the neutron star is accreting rapidly from a low mass stellar companion. At radio frequencies, Sco X-1 is highly lumi…
Relativistic precessing jets powered by an accreting neutron star
F. J. Cowie, R. P. Fender, I. Heywood +9
Precessing relativistic jets launched by compact objects are rarely directly measured, and present an invaluable opportunity to better understand many features of astrophysical jet…
