Kinetic Simulations of Radiative Magnetic Reconnection in the Coronae of Accreting Black Holes
Lorenzo Sironi, Andrei M. Beloborodov
We perform two- and three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations of reconnection in magnetically-dominated pair plasmas subject to strong Compton cooling. Reconnection under such…
Blast Waves from Magnetar Flares and Fast Radio Bursts
Andrei M. Beloborodov
Magnetars younger than one century are expected to be hyper active. Besides winds powered by rotation they generate frequent magnetic flares, which launch powerful blast waves into…
X-ray Monitoring of the Magnetar CXOU J171405.7-381031 in SNR CTB 37B
E. V. Gotthelf, J. P. Halpern, K. Mori +1
We present the results of our 8 year X-ray monitoring campaign on CXOU J171405.7-381031, the magnetar associated with the faint supernova remnant (SNR) CTB 37B. It is among the you…
Pulsar wind-heated accretion disk and the origin of modes in transitional millisecond pulsar PSR J1023+0038
Alexandra Veledina, Joonas Nättilä, Andrei M. Beloborodov
Transitional millisecond pulsars provide a unique set of observational data for understanding accretion at low rates onto magnetized neutron stars. In particular, PSR~J1023+0038 ex…
Magnetars as Astrophysical Laboratories of Extreme Quantum Electrodynamics: The Case for a Compton Telescope
Zorawar Wadiasingh, George Younes, Matthew G. Baring +14
A next generation of Compton and pair telescopes that improve MeV-band detection sensitivity by more than a decade beyond current instrumental capabilities will open up new insight…
Radio Time-Domain Signatures of Magnetar Birth
Casey J. Law, Ben Margalit, Nipuni T. Palliyaguru +10
The last decade has seen the rapid, concurrent development of new classes of energetic astrophysical transients, including Fast Radio Bursts, Superluminous Supernovae, and ultralon…
