Ultra-Fast TeV Flare in Blazars

• Ultra-Fast TeV flares are observed in some Blazars.• Vary on timescale as sort as tv~3min << Rs/c ~ 3M9 hour• For the TeV emission to escape pair creation Γem>50 is required (Begelman,

Fabian & Rees 2008)• But PKS 2155-304, Mrk 501 show “moderately” superluminal ejections (vapp ~several c)• Emitter must be compact and extremely fast•Model for the Fast TeV flaring• Internal: Magnetic Reconnection

Magnetic Reconnection in Relativistic Astrophysical Objects

Pulsar Magnetosphere & Striped pulsar wind• obliquely rotating magnetosphere forms stripes of opposite magnetic polarity in equatorial belt• magnetic dissipation via magnetic reconnection would be main energy conversion mechanism

Spitkovsky (2006)

Magnetar Flares• May be triggered by magnetic reconnection at equatorial current sheet

Purpose of Study• Quite often numerical simulations using ideal RMHD exhibit

violent magnetic reconnection.

• The magnetic reconnection observed in ideal RMHD simulations is due to purely numerical resistivity, occurs as a result of truncation errors

• Fully depends on the numerical scheme and resolution.

• Therefore, to allow the control of magnetic reconnection according to a physical model of resistivity, numerical codes solving the resistive RMHD (RRMHD) equations are highly desirable.

• We have newly developed RRMHD code and investigated the role of the equation of state in RRMHD regime.

Ideal / Resistive RMHD EqsIdeal RMHD Resistive RMHD

Solve 11 equations (8 in ideal MHD)Need a closure relation between J and E => Ohm’s law

Basics of Numerical RMHD CodeConservative form

Merit: • Numerically well maintain conserved variables• High resolution shock-capturing method (Godonuv scheme) can be applied to RMHD equationsDemerit: • These schemes must recover primitive variables P by numerically solving the system of equations after each step (because the schemes evolve conservative variables U)

Difficulty of Handling Shock Wave

In numerical hydrodynamic simulations, we need

•sharp shock structure (less diffusivity around discontinuity)

•no numerical oscillation around discontinuity

•higher-order resolution at smooth region

•handling extreme case (strong shock, strong magnetic field, high Lorentz factor)

•Divergence-free magnetic field (MHD)

• The solutions are same but quantitatively different.• rarefaction waves and shocks propagate with smaller velocities <= lower sound speed in TM EoSs relatives to overestimated sound speed in ideal EoS• these properties are consistent with in ideal RMHD case

2D Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability

• Linear and nonlinear growth of 2D Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI) & magnetic field amplification via KHI

Initial condition

• Shear velocity profile:

• Uniform gas pressure p=1.0

• Density:=1.0 in the region vsh=0.5, =10-2 in the region vsh=-0.5

• Magnetic Field:

• Single mode perturbation:

• Simulation box:

-0.5 < x < 0.5, -1 < y < 1

a=0.01, characteristic thickness of shear layervsh=0.5 => relative =2.29

• Initial linear growth with almost same growth rate• Maximum amplitude; transition from linear to nonlinear• Poloidal field amplification via stretching due to main vortex developed by KHI• Larger poloidal field amplification occurs for TM EoS than for ideal EoS

Amplitude of perturbation

Volume-averaged Poloidal field

2D KHI Global Structure (ideal EoS)

• Formation of main vortex by growth of KHI in linear growth phase• secondary vortex?• main vortex is distorted and stretched in nonlinear phase• B-field amplified by shear in vortex in linear and stretching in nonlinear

2D KHI Global Structure (TM EoS)

• Formation of main vortex by growth of KHI in linear growth phase• no secondary vortex• main vortex is distorted and stretched in nonlinear phase• vortex becomes strongly elongated in nonlinear phase• Created structure is very different in ideal and TM EoSs

Field Amplification in KHI• Field amplification structure for different conductivities• Conductivity low, magnetic field amplification is weaker• Field amplification is a result of fluid motion in the vortex• B-field follows fluid motion, like ideal MHD, strongly twisted in high conductivity • conductivity decline, B-field is no longer strongly coupled to the fluid motion• Therefore B-field is not strongly twisted

Time Evolution of Relativistic MR• Outflow gradually accelerates and saturates t~60 with vx~0.8c

• TM EoS case slightly faster than ideal EoS case

• Magnetic energy converted to thermal and kinetic energies (acceleration of outflow)

• TM EoS case has larger reconnection rate than ideal EoS.

Summary• In 1D tests, new RRMHD code is stable and reproduces

ideal RMHD solutions when the conductivity is high.

• 1D shock tube tests show results obtained from approximate EoS are considerably different from ideal EoS.

• In KHI tests, growth rate of KHI is independent of the conductivity

• But magnetic field amplification via stretching of the main vortex and nonlinear behavior strongly depends on the conductivity and choice of EoSs

• In reconnection test, approximate EoS case resulted in a faster reconnection outflow and larger reconnection rate than ideal EoS case
