First-Principle Prediction of X-ray Polarization from Magnetic Reconnection in High-Frequency BL Lacs
Haocheng Zhang, Xiaocan Li, Dimitrios Giannios +1
Relativistic magnetic reconnection is a potential particle acceleration mechanism for high-frequency BL Lacs (HBLs). The {\it Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer} ({\it IXPE}) sched…
Radiation Signatures From Striped Blazar Jet
Haocheng Zhang, Dimitrios Giannios
Relativistic jets from supermassive black holes are among the most powerful and luminous astrophysical systems in Universe. We propose that the open magnetic field lines through th…
Radiation and Polarization Signatures from Magnetic Reconnection in Relativistic Jets--I. A Systematic Study
Haocheng Zhang, Xiaocan Li, Dimitrios Giannios +3
Blazars are relativistic magnetized plasma outflows from supermassive black holes that point very close to our line of sight. Their emission is nonthermal dominated and highly vari…
Kink Instabilities In Relativistic Jets Can Drive Quasi-Periodic Radiation Signatures
Lingyi Dong, Haocheng Zhang, Dimitrios Giannios
Relativistic jets are highly collimated plasma outflows emerging from accreting black holes. They are launched with a significant amount of magnetic energy, which can be dissipated…
The Critical Role of Collisionless Plasma Energization on the Structure of Relativistic Magnetic Reconnection
Yi-Hsin Liu, Shan-Chang Lin, Michael Hesse +4
During magnetically dominated relativistic reconnection, inflowing plasma depletes the initial relativistic pressure at the x-line and collisionless plasma heating inside the diffu…
The X-ray Polarization Probe mission concept
Keith Jahoda, Henric Krawczynski, Fabian Kislat +100
The X-ray Polarization Probe (XPP) is a second generation X-ray polarimeter following up on the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). The XPP will offer true broadband polarim…
