Fermi-LAT counterparts of IceCube neutrinos above 100 TeV
F. Krauß, K. Deoskar, C. Baxter +7
The IceCube Collaboration has published four years of data and the observed neutrino flux is significantly in excess of the expected atmospheric background. Due to the steeply fall…
A new method for extending solutions to the self-similar relativistic magnetohydrodynamics equations for black hole outflows
Chiara Ceccobello, Yuri Cavecchi, Martin H. M. Heemskerk +3
The paradigm in which magnetic fields play a crucial role in launching/collimating outflows in many astrophysical objects continues to gain support. However, semi-analytical models…
Electromagnetic vs. Lense-Thirring alignment of black hole accretion discs
Peter Polko, Jonathan C. McKinney
Accretion discs and black holes (BHs) have angular momenta that are generally misaligned with respect to each other, which can lead to warps in the discs and bends in any jets prod…
Linking accretion flow and particle acceleration in jets - II. Self-similar jet models with full relativistic MHD gravitational mass
Peter Polko, David L. Meier, Sera Markoff
We present a new, semi-analytic formalism to model the acceleration and collimation of relativistic jets in a gravitational potential. The gravitational energy density includes the…
Linking accretion flow and particle acceleration in jets. I. New relativistic magnetohydrodynamical jet solutions including gravity
Peter Polko, David L. Meier, Sera Markoff
We present a new, approximate method for modelling the acceleration and collimation of relativistic jets in the presence of gravity. This method is self-similar throughout the comp…
Determining the optimal locations for shock acceleration in magnetohydrodynamical jets
Peter Polko, David L. Meier, Sera Markoff
Observations of relativistic jets from black holes systems suggest that particle acceleration often occurs at fixed locations within the flow. These sites could be associated with…
