Deceleration of arbitrarily magnetized GRB ejecta: the complete evolution
P. Mimica, D. Giannios, M. A. Aloy
(Abridged) We aim to quantitatively understand the dynamical effect and observational signatures of magnetization of the GRB ejecta on the onset of the afterglow. We perform ultrah…
Observational Effects of Anomalous Boundary Layers in Relativistic Jets
M. A. Aloy, P. Mimica
Recent theoretical work has pointed out that the transition layer between a jet an the medium surrounding it may be more complex than previously thought. Under physically realizabl…
An RMHD study of transition between prompt and afterglow GRB phases
Petar Mimica, Dimitrios Giannios, Miguel-Angel Aloy
We study the afterglow phases of a GRB through relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations. The evolution of a relativistic shell propagating into a homogeneous external medium is…
On the existence of a reverse shock in magnetized GRB ejecta
D. Giannios, P. Mimica, M. A. Aloy
The role of magnetic fields in gamma-ray burst (GRB) flows remains controversial. The study of the early afterglow phases and, in particular, of the reverse shock dynamics and asso…
Internal shocks in relativistic outflows: collisions of magnetized shells
Petar Mimica, Miguel-Angel Aloy, Ewald Mueller
(Abridged): We study the collision of magnetized irregularities (shells) in relativistic outflows in order to explain the origin of the generic phenomenology observed in the non-th…
XMM-Newton timing mode observations of Mrk 421
W. Brinkmann, I. E. Papadakis, C. Raeth +2
We present the results of a detailed temporal analysis of the bright BL Lac object Mrk 421 using the three available long timing mode observations by the EPIC PN camera. This detec…
