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…
Simulating radio emission from flickering AGN jets: travelling shocks and hotspot brightening
Emma L. Elley, James H. Matthews, Dipanjan Mukherjee +1
We investigate the impact of flickering variability in jet power on the luminosity and morphology of radio galaxies. We use a Lagrangian particle method together with relativistic…
Blast waves and reverse shocks: from ultra-relativistic GRBs to moderately relativistic X-ray binaries
James H. Matthews, Alex J. Cooper, Lauren Rhodes +8
Blast wave models are commonly used to model relativistic outflows from ultra-relativistic gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), but are also applied to lower Lorentz factor ejections from X-ra…
