Inductive acceleration of UHECRs in sheared relativistic jets
Maxim Lyutikov, Rachid Ouyed
Relativistic outflows carrying large scale magnetic fields have large inductive potential and may accelerate protons to ultra high energies. We discuss a novel scheme of Ultra-High…
Neutron star magnetospheres: the binary pulsar, Crab and magnetars
Maxim Lyutikov
A number of disparate observational and theoretical pieces of evidence indicate that, contrary to the conventional wisdom, neutron stars' closed field lines are populated by dense,…
Ultra High Energy Cosmic ray and gamma-ray signatures of inductive acceleration in AGN jets
Rachid Ouyed, Guenter Sigl, Maxim Lyutikov
The highest energy cosmic rays could be produced by drifts in magnetized, cylindrically collimated, sheared jets of powerful active galaxies (i.e. FR II radiogalaxies; radio loud q…
Dissipation of magnetic fields in neutron star crusts due to development of a tearing mode
Maxim Lyutikov
Dissipation of magnetic fields in Hall plasma of neutron star crusts may power persistent high energy emission of a class of strongly magnetized neutrons stars, magnetars. We consi…
Comment on "Gamma-ray burst early afterglows: reverse shock emission from an arbitrarily magnetized ejecta" by Zhang and Kobayashi (2004)
Maxim Lyutikov
Zhang and Kobayashi (2004) attempted to calculate early afterglow emission from a system of forward and reverse shocks in GRB outflows for the case of magnetized ejecta. We point o…
Polarization and energy content of parsec scale AGN jets
Maxim Lyutikov, Vladimir I. Pariev, Denise C. Gabuzda
Most of energy carried by relativistic AGN jets remains undetected until hundreds of kiloparsecs where interaction with intergalactic medium produces hot spots. The jet's hidden en…
