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…
Relativistic Jets and Long-Duration Gamma-ray Bursts from the Birth of Magnetars
N. Bucciantini, E. Quataert, J. Arons +2
We present time-dependent axisymmetric magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the interaction of a relativistic magnetized wind produced by a proto-magnetar with a surrounding stellar…
Magnetar Driven Bubbles and the Origin of Collimated Outflows in Gamma-ray Bursts
N. Bucciantini, E. Quataert, J. Arons +2
We model the interaction between the wind from a newly formed rapidly rotating magnetar and the surrounding supernova shock and host star. The dynamics is modeled using the two-dim…
