General solution for the vacuum electromagnetic field in the surroundings of a rotating star

S. Bonazzola, F. Mottez, J. Heyvaerts

Aims. Many recent observations of pulsars and magnetars can be interpreted in terms of neutron stars (NS) with multipole electromagnetic fields. As a first approximation, we invest…

Dressed diffusion and friction coefficients in inhomogeneous multicomponent self-gravitating systems

Jean Heyvaerts, Jean-Baptiste Fouvry, Pierre-Henri Chavanis +1

General self-consistent expressions for the coefficients of diffusion and dynamical friction in a stable, bound, multicomponent self-gravitating and inhomogeneous system are derive…

Do asteroids evaporate near pulsars? Induction heating by pulsar waves revisited

Kumiko Kotera, Fabrice Mottez, Guillaume Voisin +1

We investigate the evaporation of close-by pulsar companions, such as planets, asteroids, and white dwarfs, by induction heating. Assuming that the outflow energy is dominated by a…

Towards a theory of extremely intermittent pulsars II: Asteroids at a close distance

Fabrice Mottez, Silvano Bonazzola, Jean Heyvaerts

We investigate whether there may be one or many companions orbiting at close distance to the light cylinder around the extremely intermittent pulsars PSR B1931+24 and PSR J1841-050…

Towards a theory of extremely intermittent pulsars I: Does something orbits PSR B1931 + 24 ?

Fabrice Mottez, Jean Heyvaerts, Silvano Bonazzola

We investigate whether one or many companions are orbiting the extremely intermittent pulsar PSR B1931+24. We constrained our analysis on previous observations of eight fundamental…

Polarization transfer in relativistic magnetized plasmas

Jean Heyvaerts, Christophe Pichon, Simon Prunet +1

The polarization transfer coefficients of a relativistic magnetized plasma are derived. These results apply to any momentum distribution function of the particles, isotropic or ani…
