Response tensor for a spin-dependent electron gas: dependence on the choice of spin operator
Victor. M. Demcsak, Donald. B. Melrose
It is shown that the choice of spin-operator affects the form of the response tensor describing a spin-dependent electron gas. The covariant, spin-dependent response tensor for a m…
Wave dispersion in pulsar plasma: 3. Beam-driven instabilities
M. Z. Rafat, D. B. Melrose, A. Mastrano
Beam-driven instabilities are considered in a pulsar plasma assuming that both the background plasma and the beam are relativistic Jüttner distributions. In the rest frame of the b…
Wave dispersion in pulsar plasma: 1. Plasma rest frame
M. Z. Rafat, D. B. Melrose, A. Mastrano
Wave dispersion in a pulsar plasma (a 1D, strongly magnetized, pair plasma streaming highly relativistically with a large spread in Lorentz factors in its rest frame) is discussed,…
Wave dispersion in pulsar plasma: 2. Pulsar frame
M. Z. Rafat, D. B. Melrose, A. Mastrano
Wave dispersion in a pulsar plasma is discussed emphasizing the relevance of different inertial frames, notably the plasma rest frame and the pulsar frame in…
Photospheric response to a flare
Michael S. Wheatland, Donald B. Melrose, Alpha Mastrano
Flares produce sudden and permanent changes in the horizontal photospheric magnetic field. In particular flares generally produce increased magnetic shear in the photospheric field…
Rethinking the solar flare paradigm
D. B. Melrose
It is widely accepted that solar flares involve release of magnetic energy stored in the solar corona above an active region, but existing models do not include the explicitly time…
