Simulations of ultrarelativistic magnetodynamic jets from gamma‐ray burst engines

Alexander Tchekhovskoy, +2 more
- 01 Aug 2008 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used global axisymmetric stationary solutions of magnetically dominated (force-free) ultrarelativistic jets to test whether the popular magnetic-driving paradigm can generate the required Lorentz factors and opening angles.

Dynamical simulations of magnetically channelled line-driven stellar winds - III. Angular momentum loss and rotational spin-down

Asif ud-Doula, +2 more
- 21 Jan 2009 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the angular momentum loss and associated rotational spin-down for magnetic hot stars with a line-driven stellar wind and a rotation-aligned dipole magnetic field.

Dynamical Simulations of Magnetically Channeled Line-Driven Stellar Winds: III. Angular Momentum Loss and Rotational Spindown

Asif ud-Doula, +2 more
- 23 Oct 2008 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the angular momentum loss and associated rotational spindown for magnetic hot stars with a line-driven stellar wind and a rotation-aligned dipole magnetic field were examined.

Efficiency of magnetic to kinetic energy conversion in a monopole magnetosphere

Alexander Tchekhovskoy, +2 more
- 25 Jun 2009 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the acceleration of an unconfined relativistic outflow from rotating, magnetized compact objects is modeled by assuming that the field geometry is approximately a split-monopole at large radii.

Accretion-powered Stellar Winds. II. Numerical Solutions for Stellar Wind Torques

Sean P. Matt, +1 more
- 10 May 2008 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of stellar winds in torquing down the stars was explored, and the stellar winds need to have relatively high outflow rates, and thus would likely be powered by the accretion process itself.
