PIC simulation of a thermal anisotropy-driven Weibel instability in a circular rarefaction wave
M. E. Dieckmann, G. Sarri, G. C. Murphy +6
The expansion of an initially unmagnetized planar rarefaction wave has recently been shown to trigger a thermal anisotropy-driven Weibel instability (TAWI), which can generate magn…
Multidimensional simulations of magnetic field amplification and electron acceleration to near-energy equipartition with ions by a mildly relativistic quasi-parallel plasma collision
Gareth C. Murphy, Mark E. Dieckmann, Luke O'C Drury
The energetic electromagnetic eruptions observed during the prompt phase of gamma-ray bursts are attributed to synchrotron emissions. The internal shocks moving through the ultrare…
First detection of VHE gamma-rays from SN 1006 by H.E.S.S
HESS Collaboration, F. Acero, F. Aharonian +175
Recent theoretical predictions of the lowest very high energy (VHE) luminosity of SN 1006 are only a factor 5 below the previously published H.E.S.S. upper limit, thus motivating f…
Particle-in-cell simulation of a mildly relativistic collision of an electron-ion plasma carrying a quasi-parallel magnetic field: Electron acceleration and magnetic field amplification at supernova shocks
M E Dieckmann, G Murphy, A Meli +1
Plasma processes close to SNR shocks result in the amplification of magnetic fields and in the acceleration of electrons, injecting them into the diffusive acceleration mechanism.…
A relativistic partially electromagnetic planar plasma shock
M. E. Dieckmann, P. K. Shukla, L. O. C. Drury
We model relativistically colliding plasma by PIC simulations in one and two spatial dimensions, taking an ion-to-electron mass ratio of 400. Energy dissipation by a wave precursor…
Serendipitous discovery of the unidentified extended TeV gamma-ray source HESS J1303-631
H. E. S. S. Collaboration, :, F. Aharonian
The serendipitous discovery of an unidentified extended TeVgamma-ray source close to the galactic plane named HESS J1303-631 at a significance of 21 standard deviations is reported…
