Stix Award: Extreme Plasmas around Neutron Stars and Black Holes
ORAL · Invited
Abstract
In this talk, I will review recent advances in relativistic plasma physics. I will focus on the first-principles mechanisms of producing coherent radio emission from neutron stars and the dynamics of collisionless plasma accreting onto supermassive black holes in our galaxy and M87 (the primary targets of the Event Horizon Telescope).
