Radiation from Particles Accelerated in Relativistic Jet Shocks and Shear-flows
K. -I. Nishikawa, P. Hardee, I. Dutan +12
We have investigated particle acceleration and emission from shocks and shear flows associated with an unmagnetized relativistic jet plasma propagating into an unmagnetized ambient…
A Study of the Early-stage Evolution of Relativistic Electron-Ion Shock using 3D PIC Simulations
E. J. Choi, K. Min, K. -I. Nishikawa +1
We report the results of a 3D particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation carried out to study the early-stage evolution of the shock formed when an unmagnetized relativistic jet interacts w…
Magnetic field generation in a jet-sheath plasma via the kinetic Kelvin-Helmholtz instability
K. -I. Nishikawa, P. Hardee, B. Zhang +11
We have investigated generation of magnetic fields associated with velocity shear between an unmagnetized relativistic jet and an unmagnetized sheath plasma. We have examined the s…
Radiation from accelerated particles in relativistic jets with shocks, shear-flow, and reconnection
K. -I. Nishikawa, P. Hardee, B. Zhang +11
We have investigated particle acceleration and shock structure associated with an unmagnetized relativistic jet propagating into an unmagnetized plasma. Strong magnetic fields gene…
Simulation of Relativistic Jets and Associated Self-consistent Radiation
K. -I. Nishikawa, E. J. Choi, K. Min +11
lasma instabilities excited in collisionless shocks are responsible for particle acceleration. We have investigated the particle acceleration and shock structure associated with an…
