Radiation of electrons in Weibel-generated fields: a general case
Mikhail V. Medvedev
Weibel instability turns out to be the a ubiquitous phenomenon in High-Energy Density environments, ranging from astrophysical sources, e.g., gamma-ray bursts, to laboratory experi…
Whence particle acceleration
M. V. Medvedev, A. Spitkovsky
We discuss how the electrons in relativistic GRB shocks can reach near-equipartition in energy with the protons. We emphasize the non-Fermi origin of such acceleration. We argue th…
Modeling Spectral Variability of Prompt GRB Emission within the Jitter Radiation Paradigm
Mikhail V. Medvedev, Sriharsha S. Pothapragada, Sarah J. Reynolds
The origin of rapid spectral variability and certain spectral correlations of the prompt gamma-ray burst emission remains an intriguing question. The recently proposed theoretical…
Radiation from relativistic jets in turbulent magnetic fields
K. -I. Nishikawa, M. Medvedev, B. Zhang +7
Using our new 3-D relativistic electromagnetic particle (REMP) code parallelized with MPI, we have investigated long-term particle acceleration associated with an relativistic elec…
