Simulation of collisionless shocks in plasmas with high metallicity
J. A. Kropotina, K. P. Levenfish, A. M. Bykov
The results of hybrid simulation of low-beta supercritical quasi-parallel shocks in high metallicity plasma are presented. The structure of upstream and downstream turbulence is ad…
GeV-TeV Cosmic Ray Leptons in the Solar System from the Bow Shock Wind Nebula of the Nearest Millisecond Pulsar J0437-4715
A. M. Bykov, A. E. Petrov, A. M. Krassilchtchikov +3
We consider acceleration of leptons up to GeV-TeV energies in the bow shock wind nebula of PSR J0437-4715 and their subsequent diffusion through the interstellar magnetic fields. T…
Pulsar wind nebulae with bow shocks: non-thermal radiation and cosmic ray leptons
A. M. Bykov, E. Amato, A. E. Petrov +2
Pulsars with high spin-down power produce relativistic winds radiating a fraction of the power in the range from radio to gamma-rays in the pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe). The rest of…
The helical jet of the Vela Pulsar
Martin Durant, Oleg Kargaltsev, George G. Pavlov +2
We have studied the fascinating dynamics of the nearby Vela pulsar's nebula in a campaign comprising eleven 40ks observations with Chandra X-ray Observatory (CXO). The deepest yet…
Nucleon superfluidity versus thermal states of isolated and transiently accreting neutron stars
K. P. Levenfish, P. Haensel
The properties of superdense matter in neutron star (NS) cores control NS thermal states by affecting the efficiency of neutrino emission from NS interiors. To probe these properti…
Pycnonuclear reactions in dense stellar matter
D. G. Yakovlev, K. P. Levenfish, O. Y. Gnedin
We discuss pycnonuclear burning of highly exotic atomic nuclei in deep crusts of neutron stars, at densities up to 1e13 g/cc. As an application, we consider pycnonuclear burning of…
