Striped Blandford/Znajek jets from advection of small-scale magnetic field
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors numerically quantify the unsteady outgoing Poynting flux through the horizon of a rapidly spinning black hole endowed with a rotating accretion disc.
Journal ArticleDOI
Computational General Relativistic Force-Free Electrodynamics: II. Characterization of Numerical Diffusivity
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the limits of general relativistic force-free electrodynamics in the context of current sheets and tearing mode instabilities, and find that at least eight numerical cells per characteristic size of interest are needed to find consistency between resistivity of numerical and of physical origins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tangled magnetic field model of QPOs
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore if torsional modes excited in the stellar interior and magnetosphere can explain the quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) observed in the tail of the giant flare of SGR 1900+14.
Journal ArticleDOI
Computational general relativistic force-free electrodynamics - I. Multi-coordinate implementation and testing
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present numerical strategies capable of modeling fully dynamical force-free magnetospheres of compact astrophysical objects, such as BHs and neutron stars.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonaxisymmetric Precession of Magnetars and Fast Radio Bursts
TL;DR: In this article , the authors consider the constraints on internal magnetic fields and geometry if the cyclical behavior observed for FRB~180916.J0158 and FRB 121102 is due to precession of magnetars.

Gamma-ray bursters at cosmological distances
TL;DR: It has been shown that gamma-ray bursters are at cosmological distances, like quasars, with a redshift of about 1 or 2 as discussed by the authors, making them the brightest objects known in the universe.

Hyperbolic divergence cleaning for the MHD equations
Andreas Dedner,Friedemann Kemm,Dietmar Kröner,Claus-Dieter Munz,T. Schnitzer,Matthias Wesenberg +5 more
TL;DR: A new approach to the stabilization of numerical schemes in magnetohydrodynamic processes in which the divergence errors are transported to the domain boundaries with the maximal admissible speed and are damped at the same time is developed.

An Energy Principle for Hydromagnetic Stability Problems
TL;DR: In this paper, the stability of static, highly conducting, fully ionized plasmas is investigated by means of an energy principle developed from one introduced by Lundquist, and the derivation of the principle and the conditions under which it applies are given.
