Modeling Pulsar Gamma-Ray Light Curves Using Realistic Magnetospheric Geometries
Xue-Ning Bai, Anatoly Spitkovsky
Gamma-ray emission from pulsars is thought to arise from accelerating regions in pulsar's outer magnetosphere. The shape of the light curves is thus sensitive to the details of the…
Whence particle acceleration
M. V. Medvedev, A. Spitkovsky
We discuss how the electrons in relativistic GRB shocks can reach near-equipartition in energy with the protons. We emphasize the non-Fermi origin of such acceleration. We argue th…
Extreme Astrophysics with Neutron Stars
Dong Lai, Marten van Kerkwijk, Jon Arons +11
We highlight recent theoretical and observational progress in several areas of neutron star astrophysics, and discuss the prospect for advances in the next decade.
Life Cycles of Magnetic Fields in Stellar Evolution
D. Uzdensky, J. Arons, S. Balbus +5
This is a white paper submitted to the Stars and Stellar Evolution (SSE) Science Frontier Panel (SFP) of the NRC's Astronomy and Astrophysics 2010 Decadal Survey. The white paper i…
