Cavitation instability in unmagnetized relativistic pair shocks
Ivan Demidov, Yuri Lyubarsky, Uri Keshet
We investigate the formation of plasma cavities in unmagnetized relativistic pair shocks and demonstrate that these cavities emerge naturally as a nonlinear consequence of asymmetr…
Filamentation of the electromagnetic precursor in relativistic quasi-perpendicular electron-positron shocks
Emanuele Sobacchi, Yuri Lyubarsky, Lorenzo Sironi +1
We present a scenario that could explain non-thermal particle acceleration in relativistic quasi-perpendicular electron-positron shocks, such as the termination shock of pulsar win…
Collisionless tearing instability in relativistic non-thermal pair plasma and its application to MHD turbulence
Ivan Demidov, Yuri Lyubarsky
Collisionless tearing instability with a power-law distribution function in a relativistic pair plasma with a guide field is studied. When the current sheet is supported by plasma…
Collisionless tearing instability in a relativistic pair plasma with a power-law distribution function
Ivan Demidov, Yuri Lyubarsky
We study the tearing instability of a current sheet in a relativistic pair plasma with a power law distribution function. We first estimate the growth rate analytically and then co…
On the escape of low-frequency waves from magnetospheres of neutron stars
Ephim Golbraikh, Yuri Lyubarsky
We study the nonlinear decay of the fast magnetosonic into the Alfvén waves in relativistic force-free magnetohydrodynamics. The work has been motivated by models of pulsar radio e…
The precursor structure in relativistic shocks
Barel Skuratovsky, Yuri Lyubarsky, Tsvi Piran
We present a common unifying macroscopic framework for precursors in relativistic shock waves. These precursors transfer energy and momentum from the hot downstream to the cold ups…
