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…

Wave Modes in Collapsar Jets
E. A. Gomez, P. E. Hardee
Collapsars may be a source for the long Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) in the BATSE catalog. Collapsars may radiate gamma rays anisotropically by beamed jet emission close to the observer…

Relativistic Jet Stability and Structure from the Alfven Point Outwards
P. E. Hardee, A. Rosen, P. A. Hughes +1
The amplitude of jet distortions and accompanying pressure and velocity fluctuations resulting from Kelvin-Helmholtz instability of three dimensional relativistic jets are explored…
