Multi-scale simulations of particle acceleration in astrophysical systems
A. Marcowith, G. Ferrand, M. Grech +3
This review aims at providing an up-to-date status and a general introduction to the subject of the numerical study of energetic particle acceleration and transport in turbulent as…
The synchrotron maser emission from relativistic shocks in Fast Radio Bursts: 1D PIC simulations of cold pair plasmas
Illya Plotnikov, Lorenzo Sironi
The emission process of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) remains unknown. We investigate whether the synchrotron maser emission from relativistic shocks in a magnetar wind can explain the…
Magnetohydrodynamic-Particle-in-Cell Simulations of the Cosmic-Ray Streaming Instability: Linear Growth and Quasi-linear Evolution
Xue-Ning Bai, Eve C. Ostriker, Illya Plotnikov +1
The gyro-resonant cosmic-ray (CR) streaming instability is believed to play a crucial role in CR transport, leading to growth of Alfvén waves at small scales that scatter CRs, and…
A fast current-driven instability in relativistic collisionless shocks
Martin Lemoine, Guy Pelletier, Laurent Gremillet +1
We report here on a fast current-driven instability at relativistic collisionless shocks, triggered by the perpendicular current carried by the supra-thermal particles as they gyra…
