Weibel Instability Driven by Relativistic Pair Jets: Particle Acceleration, Magnetic Field Generation, and Emission
K. -I. Nishikawa, P. Hardee, C. B. Hededal +4
Shock acceleration is a ubiquitous phenomenon in astrophysical plasmas. Plasma waves and their associated instabilities (e.g., Buneman, Weibel and other two-stream instabilities) c…

3-D GRMHD Simulations of Generating Jets
K. -I. Nishikawa, S. Koide, K. Shibata +2
We have performed a first fully 3-D GRMHD simulation with Schwarzschild black hole with a free falling corona. The initial simulation results show that a jet is created as in the p…
