Current-Driven Kink Instability in Magnetically Dominated Rotating Relativistic Jet

We have investigated the influence of jet rotation and differential motion on the linear and nonlinear development of the current-driven (CD) kink instability of force-free helical magnetic equilibria via threedimensional relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations. In this study, we follow the tem...
