Magnetic flux inversion in a peculiar changing look AGN
Nicolas Scepi, Mitchell C. Begelman, Jason Dexter
We argue that the changing-look event in the active galactic nucleus 1ES 1927+654, followed by a dip of 3 orders of magnitude in the X-ray luminosity, is controlled by a change in…
QPOs in compact binaries from small scale eruptions in an inner magnetized disk
Nicolas Scepi, Mitchell C. Begelman, Jason Dexter
Dwarf novæ (DNe) and low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) are compact binaries showing variability on time scales from years to less than seconds. Here, we focus on explaining part of t…
Structured, relativistic jets driven by radiation
Eric R. Coughlin, Mitchell C. Begelman
Relativistic jets, or highly collimated and fast-moving outflows, are endemic to many astrophysical phenomena. The jets produced by gamma-ray bursts and tidal disruption events are…
Major Scientific Challenges and Opportunities in Understanding Magnetic Reconnection and Related Explosive Phenomena in Solar and Heliospheric Plasmas
H. Ji, J. Karpen, A. Alt +105
Magnetic reconnection underlies many explosive phenomena in the heliosphere and in laboratory plasmas. The new research capabilities in theory/simulations, observations, and labora…
