The baryon loading effect on relativistic astrophysical jet transport in the interstellar medium
New Journal of Physics, 2018 The composition of the astrophysical relativistic jets remains uncertain. By kinetic particle-in-cell simulations, we show that the baryon component in the jet, or the so-called baryon loading effect (BLE), heavily affects relativistic jets transport ...

Relativistic Jets in Core-collapse Supernovae [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2017 After decades of extensive research the mechanism driving core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) is still unclear. One common mechanism is a neutrino-driven outflow, but others have been proposed.

Quasiperiodic Polarized Emissions from Kink Structure in Magnetized Relativistic Jets [PDF]
The Astrophysical JournalRecent polarimetric observations of blazars indicate the development of current-driven (CD) kink instability after passing the recollimation shocks in the relativistic jets and association with quasiperiodic oscillations (QPOs).

Quasi-periodic oscillations of GHz-band polarization in a black hole [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsRelativistic jets from accreting black holes radiate non-thermal emission which is highly variable in different time scales. Previous studies on black holes of different mass scales, including supermassive and stellar-mass black holes, only report flux ...

Studies of Relativistic Jets in Active Galactic Nuclei with SKA [PDF]
, 2015 Relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei (AGN) are among the most powerful astrophysical objects discovered to date. Indeed, jetted AGN studies have been considered a prominent science case for SKA, and were included in several different chapters of ...

Some implications of inverse-Compton scattering of hot cocoon radiation by relativistic jets in gamma-ray bursts [PDF]
, 2014 Long Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRB) relativistic jets are surrounded by hot cocoons which confine jets during their punch out from the progenitor star. These cocoons are copious sources of X-ray photons that can be and are inverse-Compton (IC) scattered to MeV ...

Microscopic Processes in Global Relativistic Jets Containing Helical Magnetic Fields [PDF]
Galaxies, 2016 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 ± )

Observational signatures of stellar explosions driven by relativistic jets [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2022 The role of relativistic jets in unbinding the stellar envelope during a supernova (SN) associated with a gamma-ray burst (GRB) is unclear. To study that, we explore observational signatures of stellar explosions that are driven by jets.

A Unified Theory of Jetted Tidal Disruption Events: From Promptly Escaping Relativistic to Delayed Transrelativistic Jets [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 Only a tiny fraction ∼1% of stellar tidal disruption events (TDEs) generate powerful relativistic jets evidenced by luminous hard X-ray and radio emissions.
