We first derive a set of equations describing general stationary configurations of relativistic force-free plasma, without assuming any geometric symmetries. We then demonstrate that electromagnetic interaction of merging neutron stars is necessarily dissipative due to the effect of electromagnetic draping - creation of dissipative regions near the star (in the single-magnetized case) or at the magnetospheric boundary (in the double-magnetized case). Our results indicate that even in the single magnetized case we expect that relativistic jets (or ``tongues'') are produced, with correspondingly beamed emission pattern.

  1. Cherenkov emission by a fast-moving uncharged Schwarzschild black hole

    hep-th 2025-02 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    An uncharged Schwarzschild black hole moving superluminally through a dielectric in a magnetic field is predicted to emit classical Cherenkov radiation via gravity-distorted field lines.
