Spectral and Polarization Properties of Coherent Radio Emission from Relativistic Magnetized Pair Plasma Shocks
Yuanhong Qu, Joonas Nättilä, Lorenzo Sironi
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are millisecond-duration radio transients whose emission mechanism remains an open question. The so-called synchrotron maser instability in relativistic ma…
Energy Partition in Relativistic Electron-Positron-Ion Reconnection
Nilay Mancini, Luca Comisso, Lorenzo Sironi
Relativistic magnetic reconnection, a prime mechanism for particle acceleration, has been extensively studied in electron--ion and pair plasmas, but how the dissipated energy is sh…
Synchrotron-Regulated Relativistic Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence: Emission, Polarization, and Faraday Rotation
Xiaochen Sun, Luca Comisso, Lorenzo Sironi +2
Relativistic magnetized plasmas in many high-energy astrophysical systems are both turbulent and strongly radiative, yet their nonlinear dynamics and radiative outcomes remain poor…
Compression-Driven Kinetic Instabilities in Magnetically Arrested Disks
Vedant Dhruv, Lorenzo Sironi, Jordy Davelaar +1
Event horizon-scale observations of low-luminosity black hole accretion flows favor magnetically arrested disks, characterized by dynamically important magnetic fields ($β\lesssim1…
The effect of inverse Compton losses on particle acceleration in three-dimensional relativistic reconnection
Ian Bowyer, Dimitrios Giannios, Lorenzo Sironi
Relativistic magnetic reconnection is a key mechanism for dissipating magnetic energy and accelerating particles in astrophysics. In the absence of radiative cooling, recent partic…
Maximum Energy of Particles Accelerated in Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglow Shocks
Zhao-Feng Wu, Sofía Guevara-Montoya, Paz Beniamini +3
Particle acceleration in relativistic collisionless shocks remains an open problem in high-energy astrophysics. Particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations predict that electron acceleratio…
