Clouds also form in atmospheres of planets that orbit other stars than our Sun, in so-called extrasolar planets or exoplanets. Exoplanet atmospheres can be chemically extremely rich. Exoplanet clouds are therefor made of a mix of materials…
In this letter, the merging-vs-bouncing response of obliquely-oriented colliding jets under elevated and reduced gaseous environment pressures was experimentally examined. Experiments with water and n-tetradecane confirmed that the…
Astrophysical jets are often observed as bent or curved structures. We also know that the different jet sources may be binary in nature, which may lead to a regular, periodic motion of the jet nozzle, an orbital motion or precession. Here,…
Jet production and jet substructure modification in heavy-ion collisions have played an essential role in revealing the in-medium evolution of parton showers and the determination of the properties of strongly-interacting matter under…
About one thousand extragalactic large-scale jets are known, and a few tens of them are confirmed sources of infrared, optical, or X-ray photons. Multiwavelength emission comming directly from these outflows is always non-thermal in origin.…
We present an internal shock model with external characteristics for explaining the complicated light curves of gamma-ray bursts. Shocks produce gamma-rays in the interaction between a precessing beam of relativistic particles and the…
X-ray observations of extragalactic radiosources show strong evidences of interaction between the radio emitting plasma and the X-ray emitting ambient gas. In this paper we perform a detailed study of this interaction by numerical…
Jets from active galaxies propagate from the central black hole out to the radio lobes on scales of hundreds of kiloparsecs. The jets may encounter giant stars with strong stellar winds and produce observable signatures. For strong winds…
We review the main topics in the field of blazar multiwavelength variability as a tool to understand the physics and structure of extragalactic jets and their central engine. We address issues such as the cross-correlation between flux…
Analytical radially self-similar models are the best available solutions describing disk-winds but need several improvements. In a previous article, we introduced models of jets from truncated disks, i.e. evolved in time numerical…
Recent LHC results concerning full jet-quenching in PbPb collisions have been presented in terms of a jet asymmetry parameter, measuring the imbalance between the transverse momenta of leading and subleading jets. We examine the potential…
We consider radiation of relativistic electrons accelerated within the jet extended boundary layer. Due to velocity shear across the boundary the observed jet/counterjet brightness ratio is diminished as compared to the one derived for the…
Small corrections to the electromagnetic field in colliding light beams are evaluated taking into account the interaction of light with the quantum vacuum, as predicted by quantum electrodynamics. Possible implications for very energetic…
We propose a new observable, called zeal, to analyze events with jets in heavy ion collisions. The observable measures how a thermal medium affects the multiplicity and distribution of energetic particles in a jet. Using few known models…
These proceedings review recent results from two and three particle correlations in heavy ion collisions. In particular we discuss the modified structure of the away side jet correlations. Under the assumption that the away side can be…
Recent theoretical studies have indicated that the topological features of away-side jet fragments can be significantly altered by medium-induced modifications. The leading candidates resulting from such modifications are Mach Cones and…
By combining the jet quenching Monte Carlo JEWEL with a realistic hydrodynamic model for the background we investigate the sensitivity of jet observables to details of the medium model and quantify the influence of the energy and momentum…
High-mass microquasars may produce jets that will strongly interact with surrounding stellar winds on binary system spatial scales. We study the dynamics of the collision between a mildly relativistic hydrodynamical jet of supersonic nature…
We study the tomographic applications of a new phenomenon we dub "jet drift" -- the deflection of high-energy particles and jets toward the direction of a flowing medium -- to the quark-gluon plasma produced in heavy-ion collisions. While…
Jets can be probed in their innermost regions (d~0.1 pc) through the study of the relativistically-boosted emission of blazars. On the other extreme of spatial scales, the study of structure and dynamics of extragalactic relativistic jets…
