On the corona of magnetars
Yury Lyubarsky, David Eichler
Slow dissipation of non-potential magnetic fields in the magnetosphere of the magnetar is assumed to accelerate particles to hundreds MeV along the magnetic field lines. We conside…
Magnetars in the afterglow era
D. Eichler, Y. Lyubarsky, C. Thompson +1
The X-ray afterglow that is observed following large flares on magnetars can be accurately fit by simple and quantitative theoretical models: The long term afterglow, lasting of or…
Fast magnetosonic waves in pulsar winds
Y. E. Lyubarsky
Fast magnetosonic waves in a magnetically-dominated plasma are investigated. In the pulsar wind, these waves may transport a significant fraction of the energy flux. It is shown th…
Coherent Emission from Magnetars
D. Eichler, M. Gedalin, Y. Lyubarsky
It is proposed that magnetospheric currents above the surfaces of magnetars radiate coherent emission in analogy to pulsars. Scaling the magnetospheric parameters suggests that the…
The X-ray jet in the Crab Nebula: radical implications for pulsar theory?
Yury Lyubarsky, David Eichler
The recent Chandra image of the Crab nebula shows a striking, axisymmetric polar jet. It is shown that jets are formed in axisymmetric, magnetized pulsar winds and that the jet lum…
