The baryon content of magnetically arrested black hole disks and jets
Anthony Chow, Lorenzo Sironi, Bart Ripperda +1
We study the transport of baryons in magnetically arrested accretion flows and relativistic jets using general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations that incorporate a passi…
Reconnection-driven Flares in M87*: Proton-Synchrotron-powered GeV Emission
Hayk Hakobyan, Amir Levinson, Lorenzo Sironi +2
Magnetic reconnection in current layers that form intermittently in radiatively inefficient accretion flows onto black holes is a promising mechanism for particle acceleration and…
The Interplay between accelerated Protons, X-rays and Neutrinos in the Corona of NGC 1068: Constraints from Kinetic Plasma Simulations
Rostom Mbarek, Alexander Philippov, Alexander Chernoglazov +2
We examine properties of accelerated protons potentially responsible for the neutrino excess observed in the direction of NGC 1068, using constraints from kinetic Particle-in-Cell…
1D GRPIC Simulations of Stellar-Mass Black Hole Magnetospheres: Semi-Analytic Model of Gamma-Rays from Gaps
Koki Kin, Shota Kisaka, Kenji Toma +2
In the absence of a sufficient amount of plasma injection into the black hole (BH) magnetosphere, the force-free state of the magnetosphere cannot be maintained, leading to the eme…
