Magnetic Dissipation in Relativistic Jets [PDF]
The most promising mechanisms for producing and accelerating relativistic jets, and maintaining collimated structure of relativistic jets involve magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) processes.

Stationary relativistic jets [PDF]
AbstractIn this paper we describe a simple numerical approach which allows to study the structure of steady-state axisymmetric relativistic jets using one-dimensional time-dependent simulations. It is based on the fact that for narrow jets with $v_{z}\approx c$ v z

Particle-in-Cell Simulations of Astrophysical Relativistic Jets
Astrophysical relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei, gamma-ray bursts, and pulsars is the main key subject of study in the field of high-energy astrophysics, especially regarding the jet interaction with the interstellar or intergalactic ...

Applying Relativistic Reconnection to Blazar Jets
Rapid and luminous flares of non-thermal radiation observed in blazars require an efficient mechanism of energy dissipation and particle acceleration in relativistic active galactic nuclei (AGN) jets.

The particle-in-cell (PIC) method was developed to investigate microscopic phenomena, and with the advances in computing power, newly developed codes have been used for several fields, such as astrophysical, magnetospheric, and solar plasmas.

Microscopic Processes in Global Relativistic Jets Containing Helical Magnetic Fields
In the study of relativistic jets one of the key open questions is their interaction with the environment on the microscopic level. Here, we study the initial evolution of both electron–proton ( e − – p + ) and electron–positron ( e ± )

GRMHD Simulations and Modeling for Jet Formation and Acceleration Region in AGNs
Relativistic jets are collimated plasma outflows with relativistic speeds. Astrophysical objects involving relativistic jets are a system comprising a compact object such as a black hole, surrounded by rotating accretion flows, with the relativistic jets

The relativistic Jet in M84 [PDF]
The elliptical galaxy M84 (NGC 4374, UGC 07494) hosts an FR-I radio continuum source (Laing & Bridle 1987, MNRAS, 228, 557) and a dusty, warped optical emission line “disk” (Baumet al.1988, ApJS, 68, 643; Goudfrooijet al.1994, A&ApS, 105, 341).

Calibrating The Power Of Relativistic Jets [PDF]
There are several methods to calculate the radiative and kinetic power of relativistic jets, but their results can differ by one or two orders of magnitude. Therefore, it is necessary to perform a calibration of the jet power, to understand the reasons for these differences (whether wrong hypotheses or intrinsic source variability), and if it is ...
