Pulsar Dreams
Jonathan Arons
I share a few reminiscences and observations of 40 years of Pulsars.
Filamentation Instability of Interacting Current Sheets in Striped Relativistic Winds: The Origin of Low Sigma?
Jonathan Arons
I outline a mechanism, akin to Weibel instabilities of interpenetrating beams, in which the neighboring current sheets in a striped wind from an oblique rotator interact through a…
Magnetar Driven Bubbles and the Origin of Collimated Outflows from GRBs
N. Bucciantini, E. Quataert, J. Arons +2
We model the interaction between the wind from a newly formed rapidly rotating magnetar and the surrounding progenitor. In the first few seconds after core collapse the magnetar in…
Pulsars: Progress, Problems and Prospects
Jonathan Arons
I survey recent successes in the application of relativistic MHD and force-free electrodynamics to the modeling of the pulsars' rotational energy loss mechanism as well as to the s…
Acceleration and Dissipation in Relativistic Winds
Jonathan Arons
I argue that ideal MHD relativistic winds are always limited in practice to asymptotic 4-velocity and asymptotic magnetization ,…
Theory of Pulsar Winds
Jonathan Arons
I discuss recent work on the nature of relativistic winds from Rotation Powered Pulsars, on the physics of how they transport energy from the central compact object to the surrroun…
