High-mass microquasars from binary to black hole scale
Rolf Walder, Doris Folini
We present a 3D hydrodynamical simulation of a wind-accreting high-mass microquasar, from 30 binary separations (d) to 256 black hole (BH) gravitational radii, over one-sixth of a…
Oscillations of subcritical fast magnetosonic shock boundaries caused by shock reformation
M E Dieckmann, A Bret, D Folini +1
The evolution of a deformed subcritical fast magnetosonic shock front is compared between two two-dimensional PIC simulations with different orientations of the magnetic field rela…
Three-dimensional structure and stability of discontinuities between unmagnetized pair plasma and magnetized electron-proton plasma
M E Dieckmann, D Folini, M Falk +3
We study with a 3D PIC simulation discontinuities between an electron-positron pair plasma and magnetized electrons and protons. A pair plasma is injected at one simulation boundar…
Two-dimensional particle simulation of the boundary between a hot pair plasma and magnetized electrons and protons: out-of-plane magnetic field
M E Dieckmann, D Folini, R Walder +2
By means of a particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation, we study the interaction between a uniform magnetized ambient electron-proton plasma at rest and an unmagnetized pair plasma, which…
Effects of radiative losses on the relativistic jets of high-mass microquasars
A. Charlet, R. Walder, A. Marcowith +3
Context. Relativistic jets are ubiquitous in astrophysics. High Mass Microquasars (HMMQs) are useful labs to study such jets, as they are relatively close and evolve over observabl…
Collisionless Rayleigh-Taylor-like instability of the boundary between a hot pair plasma and an electron-proton plasma: the undular mode
M E Dieckmann, M Falk, D Folini +4
We study with a two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulation the stability of a discontinuity or piston, which separates an electron-positron cloud from a cooler electron-proton pla…
