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…
Collisionless Relativistic Shocks:current driven turbulence and particle acceleration
Guy Pelletier, Martin Lemoine, Laurent Gremillet +1
The physics of collisionless relativistic shocks with a moderate magnetization is presented. Micro-physics is relevant to explain the most energetic radiative phenomena of Nature,…
Current-driven filamentation upstream of magnetized relativistic collisionless shocks
M. Lemoine, G. Pelletier, L. Gremillet +1
The physics of instabilities in the precursor of relativistic collisionless shocks is of broad importance in high energy astrophysics, because these instabilities build up the shoc…
