Pair emission from bare magnetized strange stars
D. B. Melrose, R. Fok, D. P. Menezes
The dominant emission from bare strange stars is thought to be electron-positron pairs, produced through spontaneous pair creation (SPC) in a surface layer of electrons tied to the…
The induced turbulence effect on propagation of radio emission in pulsar magnetospheres
Qinghuan Luo, D. B. Melrose
The effect of photon-beam-induced turbulence on propagation of radio emission in a pulsar magnetosphere is discussed. Beamed radio emission with a high brightness temperature can g…
Dispersion in a relativistic degenerate electron gas
J. McOrist, D. B. Melrose, J. I. Weise
Relativistic effects on dispersion in a degenerate electron gas are discussed by comparing known response functions derived relativistically (by Jancovici) and nonrelativistically…
Relativistic quantum plasma dispersion functions
D. B. Melrose, J. I. Weise, J. McOrist
Relativistic quantum plasma dispersion functions are defined and the longitudinal and transverse response functions for an electron (plus positron) gas are written in terms of them…
Anisotropic weak turbulence of Alfven waves in collisionless astrophysical plasmas
Q. Luo, D. B. Melrose
The evolution of Alfven turbulence due to three-wave interactions is discussed using kinetic theory for a collisionless, thermal plasma. There are three low-frequency modes, analog…
