Synchrotron polarization signatures of surface waves in supermassive black hole jets
Jordy Davelaar, Bart Ripperda, Lorenzo Sironi +7
Supermassive black holes in active galactic nuclei (AGN) are known to launch relativistic jets, which are observed across the entire electromagnetic spectrum and are thought to be…
The Interplay between accelerated Protons, X-rays and Neutrinos in the Corona of NGC 1068: Constraints from Kinetic Plasma Simulations
Rostom Mbarek, Alexander Philippov, Alexander Chernoglazov +2
We examine properties of accelerated protons potentially responsible for the neutrino excess observed in the direction of NGC 1068, using constraints from kinetic Particle-in-Cell…
Electromagnetic precursors to black hole - neutron star gravitational wave events: Flares and reconnection-powered fast-radio transients from the late inspiral
Elias R. Most, Alexander A. Philippov
The presence of magnetic fields in the late inspiral of black hole -- neutron star binaries could lead to potentially detectable electromagnetic precursor transients. Using general…
Polarized anisotropic synchrotron emission and absorption and its application to Black Hole Imaging
Alisa Galishnikova, Alexander Philippov, Eliot Quataert
Low-collisionality plasma in a magnetic field generically develops anisotropy in its distribution function with respect to the magnetic field direction. Motivated by the applicatio…
High-Energy Radiation and Ion Acceleration in Three-dimensional Relativistic Magnetic Reconnection with Strong Synchrotron Cooling
Alexander Chernoglazov, Hayk Hakobyan, Alexander A. Philippov
We present the results of 3D particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations that explore relativistic magnetic reconnection in pair plasma with strong synchrotron cooling and a small mass frac…
Cosmic ray transport in large-amplitude turbulence with small-scale field reversals
Philipp Kempski, Drummond B. Fielding, Eliot Quataert +4
The nature of cosmic ray (CR) transport in the Milky Way remains elusive. The predictions of current micro-physical CR transport models in magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence are…
