Efficient Nonthermal Particle Acceleration by the Kink Instability in Relativistic Jets. [PDF]
Relativistic magnetized jets from active galaxies are among the most powerful cosmic accelerators, but their particle acceleration mechanisms remain a mystery.

Total and Linearly Polarized Synchrotron Emission from Overpressured Magnetized Relativistic Jets [PDF]
We present relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (RMHD) simulations of stationary overpressured magnetized relativistic jets, which are characterized by their dominant type of energy: internal, kinetic, or magnetic.

Polarization and structure of relativistic parsec-scale AGN jets [PDF]
(Abridged) We consider the polarization properties of optically thin synchrotron radiation emitted by relativistically moving electron--positron jets carrying large-scale helical magnetic fields.

Relativistic Jets in Core-collapse Supernovae [PDF]
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.

Relativistic hydrodynamical simulations of the effects of the stellar wind and the orbit on high-mass microquasar jets [PDF]
High-mass microquasar jets, produced in an accreting compact object in orbit around a massive star, must cross a region filled with stellar wind. The combined effects of the wind and orbital motion can strongly affect the jet properties on binary scales and beyond. The study of such effects can shed light on how high-mass microquasar jets propagate and

From electrons to Janskys: Full stokes polarized radiative transfer in 3D relativistic particle-in-cell jet simulations [PDF]
The underlying plasma composition of relativistic extragalactic jets remains largely unknown. Relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (RMHD) models are able to reproduce many of the observed macroscopic features of these outflows. The nonthermal synchrotron emission detected by very long baseline interferometric (VLBI) arrays, however, is a by-product of the ...

Sources of Relativistic Jets in the Galaxy [PDF]
Black holes of stellar mass and neutron stars in binary systems are first detected as hard X-ray sources using high-energy space telescopes. Relativistic jets in some of these compact sources are found by means of multiwavelength observations with ground-

Extragalactic Relativistic Jets and Nuclear Regions in Galaxies [PDF]
Past years have brought an increasingly wider recognition of the ubiquity of relativistic outflows (jets) in galactic nuclei, which has turned jets into an effective tool for investigating the physics of nuclear regions in galaxies.

A powerful hydrodynamic booster for relativistic jets [PDF]
Velocities close to the speed of light are a robust observational property of the jets observed in microquasars and AGNs, and are expected to be behind much of the phenomenology of GRBs. Yet, the mechanism boosting relativistic jets to such large Lorentz
