Interaction of a highly magnetized impulsive relativistic flow with an external medium
Important astrophysical sources, such as gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) or tidal disruption events, are impulsive – strongly varying with time. These outflows are likely highly magnetized near the central source, but their interaction with the external medium is not yet fully understood. Here I consider the combined impulsive magnetic acceleration of an initially highly magnetized shell of plasma and ...
متن کاملImpulsive Acceleration of Strongly Magnetized Relativistic Flows
The strong variability of magnetic central engines of AGN and GRBs may result in highly intermittent strongly magnetized relativistic outflows. We find a new magnetic acceleration mechanism for such impulsive flows that can be much more effective than the acceleration of steady-state flows. This impulsive acceleration results in kineticenergy-dominated flows that are conducive to efficient diss...
متن کاملInteraction of GRB fireballs with ambient medium
The customary picture of the fireball deceleration by an external medium neglects two physical agents in the problem that are important at radii R < 10 cm: a radiative precursor (the prompt GRB) and a relativistic front of free neutrons. The radiative precursor preaccelerates the medium and loads it with e pairs. This provides a new explanation for the early optical flashes in GRBs. The front o...
متن کاملCrustal remanence in an internally magnetized non-uniform shell : a possible source for Mercury’s magnetic ¢eld?
We consider the magnetic field of a shell uniformly magnetized by an internal dipole that is subsequently removed. The Gauss coefficients of the resulting field are given in terms of the spherical harmonic coefficients of the shell thickness. This general solution can easily be reduced to common special cases by superposition. For a shell of constant thickness the external field vanishes (by Ru...
متن کاملInfluence of an external magnetic field on the peristaltic flow of a couple stress fluid through a porous medium.
Magnetohydrodynamic(MHD) peristaltic flow of a Couple Stress Fluid through a permeable channel is examined in this investigation. The flow analysis is performed in the presence of an External Magnetic Field. Long wavelength and low Reynolds number approach is implemented. Mathematical expressions of axial velocity, pressure gradient and volume flow rate are obtained. Pressure rise, frictional f...
