GRB: magnetic fields, cosmic rays, and emission from first principles?
Andrei Gruzinov
We describe a scenario for large-scale magnetic field generation and particle acceleration in a collisionless collision of cold plasma clouds. A first-principle (i.e. using particl…
Strong-Field Electrodynamics
Andrei Gruzinov
Strong-Field Electrodynamics (SFE) is Maxwell theory with a certain Lorentz-covariant Ohm's law which uses only the electromagnetic degrees of freedom. We show that SFE is {\it sem…
Stable Magnetic Fields in Static Stars
A. Gruzinov
We prove that static fluid stars can stably support magnetic fields (within the ideal MHD approximation).
Dissipative Strong-Field Electrodynamics
Andrei Gruzinov
A dissipative Lorentz-covariant Ohm's law which uses only the electromagnetic degrees of freedom is proposed. For large conductivity, Maxwell equations equipped with this Ohm's law…
Directed Relativistic Blast Wave
Andrei Gruzinov
A spherically symmetrical ultra-relativistic blast wave is not an attractor of a generic asymmetric explosion. Spherical symmetry is reached only by the time the blast wave slows d…
Power of a Turbulent Pulsar
Andrei Gruzinov
We speculate that stationary force-free pulsar magnetospheres are screw unstable, and the spin-down power of real pulsars is carried by turbulent Poynting jets. The turbulent jet e…
