Generation of Magnetic Fields in the Relativistic Shock of Gamma-Ray Burst Sources
TL;DR: In this article, the relativistic two-stream instability can naturally generate strong magnetic fields with 10-5-10-1 of the equipartition energy density, in the collisionless shocks of gamma-ray burst (GRB) sources.

Near-field heat transfer in a scanning thermal microscope.
Achim Kittel,Wolfgang Müller-Hirsch,Jürgen Parisi,Svend-Age Biehs,Daniel Reddig,Martin Holthaus +5 more
TL;DR: Measurements of the near-field heat transfer between the tip of a thermal profiler and planar material surfaces under ultrahigh vacuum conditions are presented and a heuristic model is discussed which yields fair agreement with the available data.

Gamma-ray burst afterglow: Polarization and analytic light curves
Andrei Gruzinov,Eli Waxman +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the magnetic field coherence length grows at about the speed of light after the field is generated at the shock front, and show that collisionless ultrarelativistic shocks can generate strong large-scale magnetic fields and confirm the afterglow model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polarization of prompt GRB emission: evidence for electromagnetically-dominated outflow
TL;DR: In this paper, the Stokes parameters of synchrotron emission of a relativistically moving plasma with a given magnetic field configuration were derived and the pulse averaged polarization fraction was calculated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polarization and structure of relativistic parsec-scale AGN jets
TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the polarization properties of synchrotron radiation emitted by relativistically moving electron-positron jets carrying large-scale helical magnetic fields.
