Dynamics and stability of relativistic GRB blast waves
In gamma-ray-bursts (GRB), ultra-relativistic blast waves are ejected into
the circumburst medium. We analyse in unprecedented detail the deceleration of
a self-similar Blandford-McKee blast wave from a Lorentz factor 25 to the
nonrelativistic Sedov phase. Our goal is to determine the stability properties
of its frontal shock. We carried out a grid-adaptive relativistic 2D
hydro-simulation at extreme resolving power, following the GRB jet during the
entire afterglow phase. We investigate the effect of the finite initial jet
opening angle on the deceleration of the blast wave, and identify the growth of
various instabilities throughout the coasting shock front. We find that during
the relativistic phase, the blast wave is subject to pressure-ram pressure
instabilities that ripple and fragment the frontal shock. These instabilities
manifest themselves in the ultra-relativistic phase alone, remain in full
agreement with causality arguments, and decay slowly to finally disappear in
the near-Newtonian phase as the shell Lorentz factor drops below 3. From then
on, the compression rate decreases to levels predicted to be stable by a linear
analysis of the Sedov phase. Our simulations confirm previous findings that the
shell also spreads laterally because a rarefaction wave slowly propagates to
the jet axis, inducing a clear shell deformation from its initial spherical
shape. The blast front becomes meridionally stratified, with decreasing speed
from axis to jet edge.Comment: accepted for publication in A&
Transverse stability of relativistic two-component jets
Context: Astrophysical jets from various sources seem to be stratified, with
a fast inner jet and a slower outer jet. As it is likely that the launching
mechanism for each component is different, their interface will develop
differential rotation, while the outer jet radius represents a second interface
where disruptions may occur. Aims: We explore the stability of stratified,
rotating, relativistic two-component jets, in turn embedded in static
interstellar medium. Methods: In a grid-adaptive relativistic hydrodynamic
simulation with the AMRVAC code, the non-linear azimuthal stability of
two-component relativistic jets is investigated. We simulate until multiple
inner jet rotations have been completed. Results: We find evidence for the
development of an extended shear flow layer between the two jet components,
resulting from the growth of a body mode in the inner jet, Kelvin-Helmholtz
surface modes at their original interface, and their nonlinear interaction.
Both wave modes are excited by acoustic waves which are reflected between the
symmetry axis and the interface of the two jet components. Their interaction
induces the growth of near stationary, counterrotating vortices at the outer
edge of the shear flow layer. The presence of a heavy external jet allows to
slow down their further development, and maintain a collimated flow. At the
outer jet boundary, small-scale Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities develop, without
disrupting the jet configuration. Conclusion: We demonstrate that the
cross-section of two-component relativistic jets, with a heavy, cold outer jet,
is non-linearly stable.Comment: Accepted in A&A 24/09/200

DRIVING FACTOR ANALYSIS OF LAND USE CHANGE USING ANALYTICAL HIERARCHY PROCESS (AHP) METHOD (CASE: DAS WAERUHU OF AMBON CITY)
Land development in the Waeruhu watershed moves dynamically due to changes in land cover/land use. The phenomenon of land use change is inseparable from the demand for land along with the increasing population in Ambon City. The aim of this study was to determine the factors that influence changes in land cover/land use in the Waeruhu watershed. Analysis of the factors that influence land use change using the AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) method. Factors analyzed in this study include settlements, trade and service centers, educational facilities, roads and rivers. Determination of respondents in this study was determined by purposive sampling, namely Bapedalitbang Ambon City, Maluku River Hall, and Academics. The results showed that settlements had a weighted factor (0.40) which had the most influence on land use changes in the Waeruhu watershed, while the least influential factor was river network with a factor weight of (0.06). Changes in land use that occur in the Waeruhu watershed are thought to be triggered by the increasing rate of population growth which has an impact on increasing the need for land to be built up.
 
Effect of angular opening on the dynamics of relativistic hydro jets
Context. Relativistic jets emerging from AGN cores transfer energy from the
core to their surrounding ISM/IGM. Because jets are observed to have finite
opening angles, one needs to quantify the role of conical versus cylindrical
jet propagation in this energy transfer. Aims. We use FR-II AGN jets parameter
with finite opening angles. We study the effect of the variation of the opening
angle on the dynamics and energy transfer of the jet. We also point out how the
characteristics of this external medium, such as its density profile, play a
role in the dynamics. Methods. This study exploits our parallel AMR code
MPI-AMRVAC with its special relativistic hydrodynamic model, incorporating an
equation of state with varying effective polytropic index. We studied mildly
under-dense jets up to opening angles of 10 degrees, at Lorentz factors of
about 10, inspired by observations. Instantaneous quantification of the various
ISM volumes and their energy content allows one to quantify the role of mixing
versus shock-heated cocoon regions over the time intervals. Results. We show
that a wider opening angle jet results in a faster deceleration of the jet and
leads to a wider cocoon dominated by Kelvin-Helmholtz and Rayleigh-Taylor
instabilities. The energy transfer mainly occurs in the shocked ISM region by
both the frontal bow shock and cocoon-traversing shock waves, in a roughly 3 to
1 ratio to the energy transfer of the mixing zone, for a 5 degree opening angle
jet. A rarefaction wave induces a dynamically formed layered structure of the
jet beam. Conclusions. Finite opening angle jets can efficiently transfer
significant fractions (25 % up to 70 %) of their injected energy over a growing
region of shocked ISM matter. The role of the ISM stratification is prominent
for determining the overall volume that is affected by relativistic jet
injection

Synchrotron radiation of self-collimating relativistic MHD jets
The goal of this paper is to derive signatures of synchrotron radiation from
state-of-the-art simulation models of collimating relativistic
magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) jets featuring a large-scale helical magnetic field.
We perform axisymmetric special relativistic MHD simulations of the jet
acceleration region using the PLUTO code. The computational domain extends from
the slow magnetosonic launching surface of the disk up to 6000^2 Schwarzschild
radii allowing to reach highly relativistic Lorentz factors. The Poynting
dominated disk wind develops into a jet with Lorentz factors of 8 and is
collimated to 1 degree. In addition to the disk jet, we evolve a thermally
driven spine jet, emanating from a hypothetical black hole corona. Solving the
linearly polarized synchrotron radiation transport within the jet, we derive
VLBI radio and (sub-) mm diagnostics such as core shift, polarization
structure, intensity maps, spectra and Faraday rotation measure (RM), directly
from the Stokes parameters. We also investigate depolarization and the
detectability of a lambda^2-law RM depending on beam resolution and observing
frequency. We find non-monotonic intrinsic RM profiles which could be detected
at a resolution of 100 Schwarzschild radii. In our collimating jet geometry,
the strict bi-modality in polarization direction (as predicted by Pariev et
al.) can be circumvented. Due to relativistic aberration, asymmetries in the
polarization vectors across the jet can hint to the spin direction of the
central engine.Comment: Submitted to Ap
Shape and evolution of wind-blown bubbles of massive stars: on the effect of the interstellar magnetic field
The winds of massive stars create large (>10 pc) bubbles around their
progenitors. As these bubbles expand they encounter the interstellar coherent
magnetic field which, depending on its strength, can influence the shape of the
bubble. We wish to investigate if, and how much, the interstellar magnetic
field can contribute to the shape of an expanding circumstellar bubble around a
massive star. We use the MPI-AMRVAC code to make magneto-hydrodynamical
simulations of bubbles, using a single star model, combined with several
different field strengths: B = 5, 10, and 20 muG for the interstellar magnetic
field. This covers the typical field strengths of the interstellar magnetic
fields found in the galactic disk and bulge. Furthermore, we present two
simulations that include both a 5 muG interstellar magnetic field and a 10,000
K interstellar medium and two different ISM densities to demonstrate how the
magnetic field can combine with other external factors to influence the
morphology of the circumstellar bubbles. Our results show that low magnetic
fields, as found in the galactic disk, inhibit the growth of the circumstellar
bubbles in the direction perpendicular to the field. As a result, the bubbles
become ovoid, rather than spherical. Strong interstellar fields, such as
observed for the galactic bulge, can completely stop the expansion of the
bubble in the direction perpendicular to the field, leading to the formation of
a tube-like bubble. When combined with a warm, high-density ISM the bubble is
greatly reduced in size, causing a dramatic change in the evolution of
temporary features inside the bubble. The magnetic field of the interstellar
medium can affect the shape of circumstellar bubbles. This effect may have
consequences for the shape and evolution of circumstellar nebulae and supernova
remnants, which are formed within the main wind-blown bubble.Comment: Proposed for acceptance for publication in Astronomy & Astrophysics.
