Particle acceleration at magnetized, relativistic turbulent shock fronts
Virginia Bresci, Martin Lemoine, Laurent Gremillet
The efficiency of particle acceleration at shock waves in relativistic, magnetized astrophysical outflows is a debated topic with far-reaching implications. Here, for the first tim…
Non-resonant particle acceleration in strong turbulence: comparison to kinetic and MHD simulations
Virginia Bresci, Martin Lemoine, Laurent Gremillet +3
Collisionless, magnetized turbulence offers a promising framework for the generation of non-thermal high-energy particles in various astrophysical sites. Yet, the detailed mechanis…
Origin of intense electron heating in relativistic blast waves
Arno Vanthieghem, Martin Lemoine, Laurent Gremillet
The modeling of gamma-ray burst afterglow emission bears witness to strong electron heating in the precursor of Weibel-mediated, relativistic collisionless shock waves propagating…
Physics and phenomenology of weakly magnetized, relativistic astrophysical shock waves
A. Vanthieghem, M. Lemoine, I. Plotnikov +4
Weakly magnetized, relativistic collisionless shock waves are not only the natural offsprings of relativistic jets in high-energy astrophysical sources, they are also associated wi…
Physics of relativistic collisionless shocks: III The suprathermal particles
Martin Lemoine, Guy Pelletier, Arno Vanthieghem +1
In this third paper of a series, we discuss the physics of the population of accelerated particles in the precursor of an unmagnetized, relativistic collisionless pair shock. In pa…
Physics of relativistic collisionless shocks: II Dynamics of the background plasma
M. Lemoine, A. Vanthieghem, G. Pelletier +1
In this second paper of a series, we discuss the dynamics of a plasma entering the precursor of an unmagnetized, relativistic collisionless pair shock. We discuss how this backgrou…
