A fast current-driven instability in relativistic collisionless shocks
Martin Lemoine, Guy Pelletier, Laurent Gremillet +1
We report here on a fast current-driven instability at relativistic collisionless shocks, triggered by the perpendicular current carried by the supra-thermal particles as they gyra…
Relativistic shock acceleration and some consequences
M. Lemoine, G. Pelletier
This paper summarizes recent progresses in our theoretical understanding of particle acceleration at relativistic shock waves and it discusses two salient consequences: (1) the max…
Collisionless Relativistic Shocks:current driven turbulence and particle acceleration
Guy Pelletier, Martin Lemoine, Laurent Gremillet +1
The physics of collisionless relativistic shocks with a moderate magnetization is presented. Micro-physics is relevant to explain the most energetic radiative phenomena of Nature,…
Current-driven filamentation upstream of magnetized relativistic collisionless shocks
M. Lemoine, G. Pelletier, L. Gremillet +1
The physics of instabilities in the precursor of relativistic collisionless shocks is of broad importance in high energy astrophysics, because these instabilities build up the shoc…
