Investigations of Lepton and Baryon Acceleration in Relativistic Astrophysical Shocks
Glen Paul Double
Gamma-ray bursts are often the brightest objects in the sky during their short life. Particle acceleration in trans-relativistic shocks, internal to the main blastwave, may explain…
Diffusive Shock Acceleration in Unmodified Relativistic, Oblique Shocks
Donald C. Ellison, Glen P. Double
We present results from a fully relativistic Monte Carlo simulation of diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) in unmodified shocks. The computer code uses a single algorithmic sequence…
Magnetohydrodynamic Jump Conditions for Oblique Relativistic Shocks with Gyrotropic Pressure
Glen P. Double, Matthew G. Baring, Frank C. Jones +1
Shock jump conditions are obtained for steady-state, plane shocks with oblique magnetic fields and arbitrary flow speeds. For ultrarelativistic and nonrelativistic shocks, the jump…
Nonlinear Particle Acceleration in Relativistic Shocks
Donald C. Ellison, Glen P. Double
Monte Carlo techniques are used to model nonlinear particle acceleration in parallel collisionless shocks of various speeds, including mildly relativistic ones. When the accelerati…
