Distortion of a relativistic jet echoing a magnetic flux eruption

Krzysztof Nalewajko, Mateusz Kapusta, Bart Ripperda +1

Magnetized accretion onto spinning black holes can accumulate a large magnetic flux across the event horizon and launch a pair of relativistic jets via the Blandford-Znajek mechani…

High-energy variability of the gravitationally lensed blazar PKS 1830-211

Sarah M. Wagner, Jeffrey D. Scargle, Greg Madejski +4

The production site and process responsible for the highly variable high-energy emission observed from blazar jets are still debated. Gravitational lenses can be used as microscope…

Tension of toroidal magnetic field in reconnection plasmoids and relativistic jets

Krzysztof Nalewajko

Toroidal magnetic field is a key ingredient of relativistic jets launched by certain accreting astrophysical black holes, and of plasmoids emerging from the tearing instability dur…

Chaotic magnetic disconnections trigger flux eruptions in accretion flows channeled onto magnetically saturated Kerr black holes

Krzysztof Nalewajko, Mateusz Kapusta, Agnieszka Janiuk

Magnetized accretion flow onto a black hole (BH) may lead to accumulation of poloidal magnetic flux across its horizon, which for high BH spin can power far-reaching relativistic j…

Non-thermal particle acceleration in collisionless relativistic electron-proton reconnection

G. R. Werner, D. A. Uzdensky, M. C. Begelman +2

Magnetic reconnection in relativistic collisionless plasmas can accelerate particles and power high-energy emission in various astrophysical systems. Whereas most previous studies…
