Perpendicular relativistic shocks in magnetized pair plasma
TL;DR: In this paper, the transition from Weibel-mediated to magnetic-reflection-shaped shocks in magnetized pair plasmas is investigated using two dimensional Particle-in-Cell simulations.

Transport equation for mhd turbulence: application to particle acceleration at interplanetary shocks
Igor V. Sokolov,Ilia I. Roussev,Marina Skender,Marina Skender,Tamas I. Gombosi,Arcadi V. Usmanov +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors unify the various transport equations for turbulent waves that are used in different areas of space physics and apply them to wave transport in astrophysical objects with high plasma speeds (radiojets), or strong gravity (black hole surroundings).
Journal ArticleDOI
On particle acceleration around shocks. I
TL;DR: In this article, a relativistically covariant (although not manifestly so) equation for the distribution function of particles accelerated at shocks is derived, which applies also to extremely relativistic shocks, and arbitrarily anisotropic particle distributions.

On the radio afterglow of gamma ray bursts
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the cannonball model of gamma ray bursts (GRBs) to predict the spectral and temporal behaviour of their radio afterglows (AGs) at all times and frequencies; its high-frequency limit reproduces the successful CB model predictions for optical and X-ray AGs.

Cosmic rays IX. Interactions and transport of cosmic rays in the Galaxy
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that for the mass range of 15 to 25 solar masses, the composite shell is immediately broken up so that the time scale for interaction is caused by the breakup and so is convective.
