Active Galactic Nuclei: The TeV Challenge
R. Blandford, W. East, K. Nalewajko +2
Jets associated with Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) have been observed for almost a century, initially at optical and radio wavelengths. They are now widely accepted as "exhausts" pr…
On the Implications of Recent Observations of the Inner Knot in the Crab Nebula
Yajie Yuan, Roger Blandford
Recent observations of the Crab Nebula (Rudy et al 2015) have maintained its reputation for high energy astrophysical enlightenment and its use as a testbed for theories of the beh…
Characterization of the Inner Knot of the Crab: The Site of the Gamma-ray Flares?
A. Rudy, D. Horns, A. DeLuca +18
One of the most intriguing results from the gamma-ray instruments in orbit has been the detection of powerful flares from the Crab Nebula. These flares challenge our understanding…
Spontaneous decay of periodic magnetostatic equilibria
William E. East, Jonathan Zrake, Yajie Yuan +1
In order to understand the conditions which lead a highly magnetized, relativistic plasma to become unstable, and in such cases how the plasma evolves, we study a prototypical clas…
