Saturated magnetic field amplification at supernova shocks (2009)
Cosmic-ray streaming instabilities at supernova shocks are discussed in the quasilinear diffusion formalism which takes into account the feedback effect of wave growth on the cosmic ray streaming...
It is shown that for moderately hot polar caps (with effective temperature of ¸ 10 6 K), the efficiency of polar gap acceleration is lower compared to the case in which the polar caps are relatively...
A New Mechanism for Pulsar Gamma-Ray Emission (2007)
Machabeli Qinghuan Luo, G. Z. Machabeli, Qinghuan Luo, S. Vladimirov
Gamma-ray emission in pulsar magnetospheres is attributed to synchrotron radiation, which tends to decrease the pitch angle of the particle, being balanced by plasma processes tending to increase the...
Radiation Force on Relativistic Jets in Active Galactic Nuclei (2007)
Radiative deceleration of relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei as the result of inverse Compton scattering of soft photons from accretion discs is discussed. The Klein-Nishina (KN) cross...
Qinghuan Luo and R. J. Protheroe (2007)
. Spallation of stellar material by high-energy ions accelerated in binary pulsars may result in high abundances of Li, Be, B in the companion star's atmosphere. The spallation effect strongly...
Jet Curvature Due to Nonaxisymmetric Radiative Drag in Active Galactic Nuclei (2007)
The effect of nonaxisymmetric radiation drag on relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei (AGN) is discussed. The radiation force due to inverse Compton scattering of photon fields from a...
A random-phase analysis of nonlinear coupling of Langmuir waves with electromagnetic whistler waves is presented. The kinetic equations for wave occupation numbers of three-wave interactions are...
Plasma Processes in Pulsar Magnetospheres and Eclipsing Binary Pulsar Systems (2007)
Plasma processes that may be responsible for pulsar radio emission and for eclipses observed for binary pulsars are discussed. High brightness temperature of pulsar radio emission implies that the...
X-ray emission from magnetic dissipation in the magnetar magnetosphere (2007)
Magnetic dissipation through decay of Alfven waves in the magnetar magnetosphere is discussed. Transport of magnetic fields in the star leads to dissipation of the magnetic energy through either...

The effect of photon-beam-induced turbulence on propagation of radio emission in a pulsar magnetosphere is discussed. Beamed radio emission with a high brightness temperature can generate...
Coherent synchrotron emission from cosmic ray air showers (2006)
Coherent synchrotron emission by particles moving along semi-infinite tracks is discussed, with a specific application to radio emission from air showers induced by high-energy cosmic rays. It is...
High energy neutrinos from fast spinning magnetars (2005)
Fast spinning magnetars are discussed as strong sources of high energy neutrinos. Pulsars may be born with a short rotation period of milliseconds with the magnetic field amplified through dynamo...
Large-Amplitude, Pair-Creating Oscillations in Pulsar and Black Hole Magnetospheres (2005)
Levinson, Amir, Melrose, Don, Judge, Alex, Luo, Qinghuan
A time-dependent model for pair creation in a pulsar magnetosphere is developed. It is argued that the parallel electric field that develops in a charge-starved region (a gap) of a pulsar...
Single pulses as emission from multiple subsources (2004)
Single pulses of pulsar radio emission are modeled as superposition of radiation originating from many small subsources that are randomly distributed in the emission region. The individual subsources...
