Plasma flow in force-free magnetospheres: two-fluid model near pulsars and black holes
Morifumi Mizuno, Samuel E. Gralla, Alexander Philippov
Force-free electrodynamics describes the electromagnetic field of the magnetically dominated plasma found near pulsars and active black holes, but gives no information about the un…
Dynamics of ultrarelativistic charged particles with strong radiation reaction. II. Entry into Aristotelian equilibrium
Yangyang Cai, Samuel E. Gralla, Vasileios Paschalidis
As first proposed by Gruzinov, a charged particle moving in strong electromagnetic fields can enter an equilibrium state where the power input from the electric field is balanced b…
Dynamics of ultrarelativistic charged particles with strong radiation reaction. I. Aristotelian equilibrium state
Yangyang Cai, Samuel E. Gralla, Vasileios Paschalidis
Previous studies from the astrophysics and laser physics communities have identified an interesting phenomenon wherein ultrarelativistic charged particles experiencing strong radia…
How narrow is the M87* ring? II. A new geometric model
Will Lockhart, Samuel E. Gralla
The 2017 Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) observations of M87* detected a ring-shaped feature as in diameter, consistent with the event horizon scale of a black hole of the e…
How narrow is the M87* ring? I. The choice of closure likelihood function
Will Lockhart, Samuel E. Gralla
Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) observations of the core of the galaxy M87 suggest an observational appearance dominated by a ring of approximately 40as in diameter. The thickness…
Can the EHT M87 results be used to test general relativity?
Samuel E. Gralla
No. All theoretical predictions for the observational appearance of an accreting supermassive black hole, as measured interferometrically by a sparse Earth-sized array at current o…
