Turbulent magnetic relaxation in pulsar wind nebulae
Jonathan Zrake, Jonathan Arons
We present a model for magnetic energy dissipation in a pulsar wind nebula. Better understanding of this process is required to assess the likelihood that certain astrophysical tra…
Ab initio Simulations of a Supernova Driven Galactic Dynamo in an Isolated Disk Galaxy
Iryna Butsky, Jonathan Zrake, Ji-hoon Kim +2
We study the magnetic field evolution of an isolated spiral galaxy, using isolated Milky Way-mass galaxy formation simulations and a novel prescription for magnetohydrodynamic (MHD…
Kinetic study of radiation-reaction-limited particle acceleration during the relaxation of unstable force-free equilibria
Yajie Yuan, Krzysztof Nalewajko, Jonathan Zrake +2
Many powerful and variable gamma-ray sources, including pulsar wind nebulae, active galactic nuclei and gamma-ray bursts, seem capable of accelerating particles to gamma-ray emitti…
Kinetic simulations of the lowest-order unstable mode of relativistic magnetostatic equilibria
Krzysztof Nalewajko, Jonathan Zrake, Yajie Yuan +2
We present the results of particle-in-cell numerical pair plasma simulations of relativistic 2D magnetostatic equilibria known as the 'ABC' fields. In particular, we focus on the l…
