Relativistic Radiation Mediated Shocks
Ran Budnik, Boaz Katz, Amir Sagiv +1
The structure of relativistic radiation mediated shocks (RRMS) propagating into a cold electron-proton plasma is calculated and analyzed. A qualitative discussion of the physics of…
Fast radiation mediated shocks and supernova shock breakouts
Boaz Katz, Ran Budnik, Eli Waxman
We present a simple analytic model for the structure of non-relativistic and relativistic radiation mediated shocks. At shock velocities β_s\equiv v_s/c\gtrsim 0.1, the shock trans…
The energy production rate & the generation spectrum of UHECRs
Boaz Katz, Ran Budnik, Eli Waxman
We derive simple analytic expressions for the flux and spectrum of ultra-high energy cosmic-rays (UHECRs) predicted in models where the CRs are protons produced by extra-Galactic s…
Cosmic rays from trans-relativistic supernovae
R. Budnik, B. Katz, A. MacFadyen +1
We derive constraints that must be satisfied by the sources of ~10^{15} to ~10^{18} eV cosmic rays, under the assumption that the sources are Galactic. We show that while these con…
