Emission knots and polarization swings of swinging jets
Maxim Lyutikov, Evgeniya Kravchenko
Knots (emission features in jets of active galactic nuclei) often show non-ballistic dynamics and variable emission/polarization properties. We model these features as emission pat…
Relativistic Rotating Vector Model
Maxim Lyutikov
The direction of polarization produced by a moving source rotates with the respect to the rest frame. We show that this effect, induced by pulsar rotation, leads to an important co…
How else can we detect Fast Radio Bursts?
Maxim Lyutikov, Duncan R. Lorimer
We discuss possible electromagnetic signals accompanying Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) that are expected in the scenario where FRBs originate in neutron star magnetospheres. For models…
Mass-loading of bow shock pulsar wind nebulae
G. Morlino, M. Lyutikov, M. Vorster
We investigate the dynamics of bow shock nebulae created by pulsars moving supersonically through a partially ionized interstellar medium. A fraction of interstellar neutral hydrog…
Diffusion in Pulsar Wind Nebulae: An Investigation using Magnetohydrodynamic and Particle Transport Models
O. Porth, M. J. Vorster, M. Lyutikov +1
We study the transport of high-energy particles in pulsar wind nebulae (PWN) using three-dimensional MHD (see Porth et al. (2014) for details) and test-particle simulations, as wel…
Particle acceleration in explosive relativistic reconnection events and Crab Nebula gamma-ray flares
Maxim Lyutikov, Lorenzo Sironi, Sergey Komissarov +1
We develop a model of particle acceleration in explosive reconnection events in relativistic magnetically-dominated plasmas and apply it to explain gamma-ray flares from the Crab N…
