The role of jets in the formation of planets, stars, and galaxies
Ralph E. Pudritz, Robi Banerjee, Rachid Ouyed
Astrophysical jets are associated with the formation of young stars of all masses, stellar and massive black holes, and perhaps even with the formation of massive planets. Their ro…
Birth rates of SGRs and AXPs: delayed amplification of magnetic field
Denis Leahy, Rachid Ouyed
We present new determination of the birth rate of AXPs and SGRS and their associated SNRs. We find a high birth rate of 1/(500 yr) for AXPs/SGRs and 1/(1700 yr) for associated SNRs…
Ultra High Energy Cosmic ray and gamma-ray signatures of inductive acceleration in AGN jets
Rachid Ouyed, Guenter Sigl, Maxim Lyutikov
The highest energy cosmic rays could be produced by drifts in magnetized, cylindrically collimated, sheared jets of powerful active galaxies (i.e. FR II radiogalaxies; radio loud q…
GRMHD Simulations of Disk/Jet Systems: Application to the Inner Engines of Collapsars
Jean-Pierre De Villiers, Jan Staff, Rachid Ouyed
We have carried out 2D and 3D general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations of jets launched self-consistently from accretion disks orbiting Kerr black holes and applied the…
From the Skyrme model to hypothetical Skyrmion stars: Astrophysical implications
Rachid Ouyed
We discuss the Skyrme model for strong interactions and the concept of a Skyrmion fluid. The corresponding compact objects, namely Skyrmion stars, constructed from the equation of…
JETGET - An analysis and visualization tool for (magneto-)hydrodynamic jet simulations
Jan Staff, Michael Jorgensen, Rachid Ouyed
In simulations of (magnetized-)fluid dynamics in physics and astrophysics, the visualization techniques are so frequently applied to analyse data that they have become a fundamenta…
