The Structure and Dynamics of the Sub-parsec Scale Jet in M87 Based on 50 VLBA Observations Over 17 Years at 43 GHz
R. Craig Walker, Phillip E. Hardee, Frederick B. Davies +2
The central radio source in M87 provides the best opportunity to study jet formation because it has a large angular size for the gravitational radius of the black hole and has a br…
Microscopic Processes in Global Relativistic Jets Containing Helical Magnetic Fields: Dependence on Jet Radius
Ken-Ichi Nishikawa, Yosuke Mizuno, Jose L. Gomez +12
In this study we investigate jet interaction at a microscopic level in a cosmological environment, which responds to a key open question in the study of relativistic jets. Using sm…
Particle-in-cell Simulations of Global Relativistic Jets with Helical Magnetic Fields
Ioana Duţan, Ken-Ichi Nishikawa, Yosuke Mizuno +11
We study the interaction of relativistic jets with their environment, using 3-dimensional relativistic particle-in-cell simulations for two cases of jet composition: (i) electron-p…
Observations of the Structure and Dynamics of the Inner M87 Jet
R. Craig Walker, Philip E. Hardee, Fred Davies +4
M87 is the best source in which to study a jet at high resolution in gravitational units because it has a very high mass black hole and is nearby. The angular size of the black hol…
Microscopic Processes in Global Relativistic Jets Containing Helical Magnetic Fields
Ken-Ichi Nishikawa, Yosuke Mizuno, Jacek Niemiec +11
In the study of relativistic jets one of the key open questions is their interaction with the environment on the microscopic level. Here, we study the initial evolution of both ele…
Kinematics of the jet in M87 on scales of 100 -- 1000 Schwarzschild radii
F. Mertens, A. P. Lobanov, R. C. Walker +1
Very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) imaging of radio emission from extragalactic jets provides a unique probe of physical mechanisms governing the launching, acceleration, and…
