Inverse Compton Signatures of Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglows
Hao Zhang, Ian Christie, Maria Petropoulou +2
The afterglow emission from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is believed to originate from a relativistic blast wave driven into the circumburst medium. Although the afterglow emission from…
Inter-Plasmoid Compton Scattering and the Compton Dominance of BL Lacs
I. M. Christie, M. Petropoulou, L. Sironi +1
Blazar emission models based on magnetic reconnection succeed in reproducing many observed spectral and temporal features, including the short-duration luminous flaring events. Pla…
The Role of Magnetic Field Geometry in the Evolution of Neutron Star Merger Accretion Discs
I. M. Christie, A. Lalakos, A. Tchekhovskoy +4
Neutron star mergers are unique laboratories of accretion, ejection, and r-process nucleosynthesis. We used 3D general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations to study the rol…
