Solution to the Sigma-Problem of Pulsar Wind Nebulae
Oliver Porth, Serguei S. Komissarov, Rony Keppens
We present first results of three dimensional relativistic magnetohydrodynamical simulations of Pulsar Wind Nebulae. They show that the kink instability and magnetic dissipation in…

Three Dimensional Structure of Relativistic Jet Formation
Oliver Porth
Using high resolution adaptive mesh refinement simulations in 3D, we investigate the formation of relativistic jets from rotating magnetospheres. Here, we focus on the development…

Bipolar jets launched from magnetically diffusive accretion disks. I. Ejection efficiency vs field strength and diffusivity
Somayeh Sheikhnezami, Christian Fendt, Oliver Porth +2
We investigate the launching of jets and outflows from magnetically diffusive accretion disks. Using the PLUTO code we solve the time-dependent resistive MHD equations taking into…
