Kinetic Simulations of the Kruskal–Schwarzschild Instability in Accelerating Striped Outflows: Dynamics and Energy Dissipation

The Astrophysical Journal
Astrophysical relativistic outflows are launched as Poynting-flux dominated, yet the mechanism governing efficient magnetic dissipation, which powers the observed emission, is still poorly understood. We study magnetic energy dissipation in relativistic “

Jets from Scratch: Dynamo-generated Poloidal Magnetic Fields in Three-dimensional Collapsar Simulations

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
The origin of the large-scale poloidal magnetic field required to power relativistic jets in collapsars remains uncertain. While such a field may be inherited during proto-neutron-star collapse, the efficiency of this process is unclear, motivating an in

Rapid jet production and suppression during fast state transitions in the black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1348–630

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Black hole X-ray binaries (BH XRBs) launch powerful relativistic jets during bright outburst phases. The properties of these outflows change dramatically between different spectral-accretion states. Compact jets are observed during the hard state and are

Relativistic Jet Motion in the Radio-quiet LINER Galaxy KISSR 872

The Astrophysical Journal
We report superluminal jet motion with an apparent speed of β _app = 1.65 ± 0.57 in the radio-quiet (RQ) low-ionization nuclear emission-line region (LINER) galaxy KISSR 872.
