Kinetic simulations of mildly relativistic shocks I: particle acceleration in high Mach number shocks
Patrick Crumley, Damiano Caprioli, Sera Markoff +1
We use fully kinetic particle-in-cell simulations with unprecedentedly large transverse box sizes to study particle acceleration in weakly-magnetized mildly relativistic shocks tra…

Swift J1644+57: an Ideal Test Bed of Radiation Mechanisms in a Relativistic Super-Eddington Jet
Patrick Crumley, Wenbin Lu, Rodolfo Santana +3
Within the first 10 days after Swift discovered the jetted tidal disruption event (TDE) Sw J1644+57, simultaneous observations in the radio, near-infrared, optical, X-ray and gamma…
