Studies of the Jet in BL Lacertae. II. Superluminal Alfvén Waves
M. H. Cohen, D. L. Meier, T. G. Arshakian +8
We study the kinematics of ridge lines on the pc-scale jet of the active galactic nucleus BL Lac. We show that the ridge lines display transverse patterns that move superluminally…
AGN jet physics and apparent opening angles
Eric Clausen-Brown, Tuomas Savolainen, Alexander B. Pushkarev +2
We present a new method to measure Gamma*theta_j in flux-limited samples of active galactic nuclei (AGN) jets, where Gamma is the bulk Lorentz factor and theta_j is the jet's half-…
Crab Nebula gamma-ray flares as relativistic reconnection minijets
Eric Clausen-Brown, Maxim Lyutikov
The unusually short durations, high luminosities, and high photon energies of the Crab Nebula gamma-ray flares require relativistic bulk motion of the emitting plasma. We explain t…
Signatures of large-scale magnetic fields in AGN jets: transverse asymmetries
Eric Clausen-Brown, Maxim Lyutikov, Preeti Kharb
We investigate the emission properties that a large-scale helical magnetic field imprints on AGN jet synchrotron radiation. A cylindrically symmetric relativistic jet and large-sca…
