A fast radio burst cyclone in technicolour: evidence of plasma lensing
Pavan A. Uttarkar, Ryan M. Shannon, Kelly Gourdji +9
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are bright, energetic, radio pulses of extragalactic origin. A dichotomy has emerged in the population: some produce repeat bursts, while the majority do n…
The Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS) Community Science Book
Michael Koss, Nafisa Aftab, Steven W. Allen +395
The AXIS Community Science Book represents the collective effort of 592 scientists worldwide to define the transformative science enabled by the Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (A…
The origin of the coherent radio flash potentially associated with GRB 201006A
Nikhil Sarin, Teagan A. Clarke, Spencer J. Magnall +4
Rowlinson et al. 2023 recently claimed the detection of a coherent radio flash 76.6 minutes after a short gamma-ray burst. They proposed that the radio emission may be associated w…
Bulk Motions in the Black Hole Jet Sheath as a Candidate for the Comptonizing Corona
Navin Sridhar, Bart Ripperda, Lorenzo Sironi +2
Using two-dimensional general relativistic resistive magnetohydrodynamic simulations, we investigate the properties of the sheath separating the black hole jet from the surrounding…
The Role of Electric Dominance for Particle Injection in Relativistic Reconnection
Sanya Gupta, Navin Sridhar, Lorenzo Sironi
Magnetic reconnection in relativistic plasmas -- where the magnetization -- is regarded as an efficient particle accelerator, capable of explaining the most dramatic astro…
