Kinetic Particle-in-cell Simulations of the Transport of Astrophysical Relativistic Jets in Magnetized Intergalactic Medium

Kinetic Particle-in-cell Simulations of the Transport of Astrophysical Relativistic Jets in Magnetized Intergalactic Medium

The kinetic effects of magnetic fields on the transport of relativistic jet in the intergalactic medium remain uncertain, especially for their perpendicular component. By particle-in-cell simulations, we find that when only jet electrons are fully magnetized, they are directly deflected by the magnetic field, but jet protons are mainly dragged …
