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…
