Magnetars in the Metagalaxy: An Origin for Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays in the Nearby Universe
Jonathan Arons
I show that the relativistic winds of newly born magnetars with khz initial spin rates, occurring in all normal galaxies, can accelerate ultrarelativistic light ions with an E^{-1}…

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…

Simulations of pulsar wind formation
Anatoly Spitkovsky, Jonathan Arons
We present initial results of the first self-consistent numerical model of the outer magnetosphere of a pulsar. By using the relativistic ``particle-in-cell'' method with special b…
