Relativistic Shocks: Particle Acceleration and Magnetization

Lorenzo Sironi, Uri Keshet, Martin Lemoine

We review the physics of relativistic shocks, which are often invoked as the sources of non-thermal particles in pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe), gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), and active gal…

Relativistic Jets Shine through Shocks or Magnetic Reconnection?

Lorenzo Sironi, Maria Petropoulou, Dimitrios Giannios

Observations of gamma-ray-bursts and jets from active galactic nuclei reveal that the jet flow is characterized by a high radiative efficiency and that the dissipative mechanism mu…
