Recollimation and Radiative Focusing of Relativistic Jets: Applications to Blazars and M87
Omer Bromberg, Amir Levinson
Recent observations of M87 and some blazars reveal violent activity in small regions located at relatively large distances from the central engine. Motivated by these consideration…
Collimation and Radiative Deceleration of Jets in TeV AGNs
Amir Levinson, Omer Bromberg
We consider some implications of the rapid X-ray and TeV variability observed in M87 and the TeV blazars. We outline a model for jet focusing and demonstrate that modest radiative…
Relativistic Photon Mediated Shocks
Amir Levinson, Omer Bromberg
A system of equations governing the structure of a steady, relativistic radiation dominated shock is derived, starting from the general form of the transfer equation obeyed by the…
An Observational Limit on the Earliest GRBs
Smadar Naoz, Omer Bromberg
We predict the redshift of the first observable (i.e., in our past light cone) Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) and calculate the GRB-rate redshift distribution of the Population III stars at…
The gravitational-wave spectrum of a non-axisymmetric torus around a rapidly spinning black hole
Omer Bromberg, Amir Levinson, Maurice van Putten
The gravitational-wave spectrum emitted by a non-axisymmetric torus rotating at an angular velocity , is derived in terms of a structure function representing a combination of…
