A Shock-in-Jet Synchrotron Mirror Model for Blazars
Reinhard Schlickeiser has made groundbreaking contributions to various aspects of blazar physics, including diffusive shock acceleration, the theory of synchrotron radiation, the production of gamma-rays through Compton scattering in various ...

Hydrodynamic Simulations of Astrophysical Jets [PDF]
{We present recent results of our three-dimensional (3-D) simulations of astrophysical jets. These efforts use the the PLUTO code (Mignone \textit{et al. 2007}) run in a highly parallel environment for the hydrodynamic, magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD), relativistic hydrodynamic (RHD), and relativistic, magnetohydrodynamic (RMHD) simulations.

Multiscale Modeling of Astrophysical Jets
We are developing the capability for a multi-scale code to model the energy deposition rate and momentum transfer rate of an astrophysical jet which generates strong plasma turbulence in its interaction with the ambient medium through which it propagates.

Laboratory experiments on plasma jets in a magnetic field using high-power lasers
The experiments to simulate astrophysical jet generation are performed using Gekko XII (GXII) HIPER laser system at the Institute of Laser Engineering. In the experiments a fast plasma flow generated by shooting a CH plane (10 μm thickness) is observed ...

Intrinsically asymmetric astrophysical jets
Previous work on the origin of self-collimated electromagnetic jets is extended to the general case where there is no reflection symmetry of the magnetic field about the equatorial plane of the disk. The axisymmetric field structure inside the disk is obtained by solving for the magnetic flux function, and the toroidal magnetic field, from the ...

Astrophysical Jets: A Review [PDF]
This review is part of a series that considers our evolving understanding of the nature of astrophysical jets. These have been defined as linear structures on the sky, typically bi-polar, and originating from a common source. Jets are associated with outflows originating from accretion processes in star-forming regions,compact objects (such as ...

Boosted dark matter from Centaurus A and its detection
Dark matter can be boosted by high energy particles in astrophysical environments through elastic scattering. We study the production of boosted dark matter via scattering with electrons in the relativistic jet of the closest active galactic nucleus ...

Black hole jets represent one of the most extreme manifestations of astrophysical processes, linking accretion physics, relativistic magnetohydrodynamics, and large-scale feedback in galaxies and clusters. Despite decades of observational and theoretical

Miniconference on astrophysical jets [PDF]
This miniconference brought together observers of astrophysical jets, analytic and numerical modelers of both astrophysical jets and spheromaks, and laboratory experimentalists. The purpose of the miniconference was to encourage interaction between these diverse groups and also expose the plasma physics community to the interesting plasma issues ...
