Rarefaction wave in relativistic steady magnetohydrodynamic flows
Konstantinos Sapountzis, Nektarios Vlahakis
We construct and analyze a model of the relativistic steady-state magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) rarefaction that is induced when a planar symmetric flow (with one ignorable Cartesian c…

Rarefaction acceleration in magnetized gamma-ray burst jets
Konstantinos Sapountzis, Nektarios Vlahakis
Relativistic jets associated with long/soft gamma-ray bursts are formed and initially propagate in the interior of the progenitor star. Because of the subsequent loss of their exte…
