General solution for the vacuum electromagnetic field in the surroundings of a rotating star
S. Bonazzola, F. Mottez, J. Heyvaerts
Aims. Many recent observations of pulsars and magnetars can be interpreted in terms of neutron stars (NS) with multipole electromagnetic fields. As a first approximation, we invest…
Electron-positron pair production by gamma rays in an anisotropic flux of soft photons, and application to pulsar polar caps
Guillaume Voisin, Fabrice Mottez, Silvano Bonazzola
Electron-positron pair production by collision of photons is investigated in view of application to pulsar physics. We compute the absorption rate of individual gamma-ray photons b…
Quantum theory of curvature and synchro-curvature radiation in a strong and curved magnetic field, and applications to neutron star magnetospheres
Guillaume Voisin, Silvano Bonazzola, Fabrice Mottez
In a previous paper, we derived the quantum states of a Dirac particle in a circular, intense magnetic field in the limit of low momentum perpendicular to the field with the purpos…
Dirac states of an electron in a circular intense magnetic field
Guillaume Voisin, Silvano Bonazzola, Fabrice Mottez
Neutron-star magnetospheres are structured by very intense magnetic fields extending from 100 to 10 5 km traveled by very energetic electrons and positrons with Lorentz factors up…
General relativistic neutrino transport using spectral methods
Bruno Peres, Andrew Jason Penner, Jerome Novak +1
We present a new code, Lorene's Ghost (for Lorene's gravitational handling of spectral transport) developed to treat the problem of neutrino transport in supernovae with the use of…
Towards a theory of extremely intermittent pulsars II: Asteroids at a close distance
Fabrice Mottez, Silvano Bonazzola, Jean Heyvaerts
We investigate whether there may be one or many companions orbiting at close distance to the light cylinder around the extremely intermittent pulsars PSR B1931+24 and PSR J1841-050…
