MHD-PIC simulations find that the non-thermal particle spectral index alpha steepens as alpha proportional to beta to the power 0.5 in the relativistic regime, due to inertial mass density acting as an energy sink that reduces Alfven velocity.
A dynamical model of magnetar-driven jet and PWN emission predicts a sequence of thermal, X-ray plateau, and late synchrotron/inverse-Compton radiation that accounts for key features in merger GRBs.
3D kinetic simulations find that merging Lundquist flux tubes produce delayed reconnection onset in 3D, a normalized reconnection rate of 0.08-0.10, and nonthermal particle spectra with power-law index 1.6-2.0 and cutoff gamma_cut/sigma_in approximately 50.
Simulations of the BSD instrument for POLAR-2 show it can localize faint GRBs like GRB 170817A to about 1.5 degrees accuracy, meeting requirements for supporting GRB polarimetry.
