Simulated VLBI Images From Relativistic Hydrodynamic Jet Models
A series of simulated maps showing the appearance in total intensity of flows computed using a recently developed relativistic hydrodynamic code (Duncan & Hughes 1994: ApJ, 436, L119) are presented. The radiation transfer calculations were performed by assuming the flow is permeated by a magnetic field and fast particle distribution in energy equipartition, with energy density proportional to t...
متن کاملRadio Emission from 3d Relativistic Hydrodynamic Jets: Observational Evidence of Jet Stratification
We present the first radio emission simulations from high resolution three dimensional relativistic hydrodynamic jets, which allow for a study of the observational implications of the interaction between the jet and external medium. This interaction gives rise to a stratification of the jet where a fast spine is surrounded by a slow high energy shear layer. The stratification, and in particular...
متن کاملResolving the Base of the Relativistic Jet in M87 at 6Rsch Resolution with Global mm-VLBI
M87 is one of the nearest radio galaxies with a central Super-Massive Black Hole (SMBH) and a prominent relativistic jet. Due to its close distance to the observer and the large SMBH mass, the source is one of the best laboratories to obtain strong observational constraints on the theoretical models for the formation and evolution of the AGN jets. In this article, we present preliminary results...
متن کاملThe Importance of Off-jet Relativistic Kinematics in Gamma-ray Burst Jet Models
Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are widely thought to originate from collimated jets of material moving at relativistic velocities. Emission from such a jet should be visible even when viewed from outside the angle of collimation. I summarize recent work on the special relativistic transformation of the burst quantities Eiso and Epeak as a function of viewing angle, where Eiso is the isotropic-equivale...
متن کاملRefining a relativistic, hydrodynamic solver: Admitting ultra-relativistic flows
We have undertaken the simulation of hydrodynamic flows with bulk Lorentz factors in the range 10–10. We discuss the application of an existing relativistic, hydrodynamic primitive-variable recovery algorithm to a study of pulsar winds, and, in particular, the refinement made to admit such ultra-relativistic flows. We show that an iterative quartic root finder breaks down for Lorentz factors ab...
