A mechanism for fast radio bursts and their narrow spectra
Andrei M. Beloborodov, Ivan Demidov
We find an emission mechanism for fast radio bursts (FRBs) capable of producing broad and narrow spectra. It operates in magnetar explosions, which launch an electromagnetic pulse…
1D PIC Simulations of Resonant Scattering-Driven Pair Cascades in Magnetar Magnetospheres
Jens F. Mahlmann, Alexander A. Philippov, Adrien Soudais +2
Hard X-rays in persistent magnetar emission originate from radiative processes in pair-loaded magnetospheric plasma, yet self-consistent kinetic simulations of such radiation-rich…
Inefficiency of chiral dynamos in protoneutron stars and the early universe
Valentin A. Skoutnev, Andrei M. Beloborodov
The chiral plasma instability (CPI) has been invoked as a possible mechanism for generating primordial magnetic fields in the universe and ultrastrong fields in neutron stars. We i…
High-energy Emission from Turbulent Electron-ion Coronae of Accreting Black Holes
Daniel Groselj, Alexander Philippov, Andrei M. Beloborodov +1
We develop a model of particle energization and emission from strongly turbulent black-hole coronae. Our local model is based on a set of 2D radiative particle-in-cell simulations…
Origin of Pulsed Radio Emission from Magnetars
Shuzhe Zeng, Alexander Philippov, James Juno +2
Extended periods of radio pulsations have been observed for six magnetars, displaying characteristics different from those of ordinary pulsars. In this Letter, we argue that radio…
Magnetic Webs in Stellar Radiative Zones
Valentin A. Skoutnev, Andrei M. Beloborodov
Rotational evolution of stellar radiative zones is an old puzzle. We argue that angular momentum transport by turbulent processes induced by differential rotation is insufficient,…
