AbstractThe Weibel instability driven by temperature anisotropy is investigated in a two-dimensional (2D) particle-in-cell simulation in non-extensive statistics in the relativistic regime. In order to begin the simulation, we introduced a new 2D anisotropic distribution function in the context of non-extensive statistics. The heavy ions considered to be immobile and form the neutralizing background. The numerical results show that non-extensive parameterqplays an important role on the magnetic field saturation time, the time of reduction temperature anisotropy, evolution time to the quasi-stationary state, and the peak energy density of magnetic field. We observe that the instability saturation time increases by increasing the non-extensive parameterq. It is shown that structures with superthermal electrons (q< 1) could generate strong magnetic fields during plasma thermalization. The simulation results agree with the previous simulations for an anisotropic Maxwellian plasma (q= 1).

Short timescale variability is often associated with a black hole system. The consequence of an electromagnetic outflow suddenly generated near a Kerr black hole is considered assuming that it is described by a solution of a force-free field with a null electric current. We compute charged particle acceleration induced by the burst field. We show that the particle is instantaneously accelerated to the relativistic regime by the field with a very large amplitude, which is characterized by a dimensionless number κ. Our numerical calculation demonstrates how the trajectory of the particle changes with κ. We also show that the maximum energy increases with κ2/3. The typical maximum energy attained by a proton for an event near a super massive black hole is Emax∼100 TeV, which is enough observed high-energy flares.

Abstract On employing linearized Vlasov–Maxwell equations the solution of relativistic electromagnetic extraordinary mode is investigated for the wave propagating perpendicular to a uniform ambient magnetic field (in the presence of arbitrary magnetic field limit i.e., ω > Ω > k.v) in partially degenerate (i.e., for T F ≥ T and T ≠ 0) electron plasma under long wavelength limit (ω ≫ k.v). Due to the inclusion of weak quantum degeneracy the relativistic Fermi–Dirac distribution function is expanded under the relativistic limit ( m 0 2 c 2 2 p 2 < 1 $\frac{{m}_{0}^{2}{c}^{2}}{2{p}^{2}}{< }1$ ) to perform momentum integrations which generate the Polylog functions. The propagation characteristics and shifting of cutoff points of the extraordinary mode are examined in different relativistic density and magnetic field ranges. The novel graphical results of extraordinary mode in relativistic quantum partially degenerate (for μ T = 0 $\frac{\mu }{T}=0$ ), nondegenerate (for μ T ≈ − 1 $\frac{\mu }{T}\approx -1$ ) and fully/completely degenerate (for μ T ≈ $\frac{\mu }{T}\approx $ 1) environments are obtained and the previously reported results are retraced as well.

Electromagnetic Instability

Weibel electromagnetic instability has been studied analytically in relativistic plasma with high parallel temperature, where|α=(mc2/T∥)(1+p^⊥2/m2c2)1/2|≪1and while the collision effects of electron-ion scattering have also been considered. According to these conditions, an analytical expression is derived for the growth rate of the Weibel instability for a limiting case of|ζ=α/2(ω′/ck)|≪1, whereω′is the sum of the wave frequency of instability and the collision frequency of electrons with background ions. The results show that in the limiting conditionα≪1there is an unusual situation of the Weibel instability so thatT∥≫T⊥, while in the classic Weibel instabilityT∥≪T⊥. The obtained results show that the growth rate of the Weibel instability will be decreased due to an increase in the number of collisions and a decrease in the anisotropic temperature by the increasing of plasma density, while the increase of the parameterγ^⊥=(1+p^⊥2/m2c2)1/2leads to the increase of the Weibel instability growth rate.
