Fast Radio Bursts from non-resonant Alfvén waves and synchrotron maser emission in the magnetar wind
Killian Long, Asaf Pe'er
Non-resonant interactions between Alfvén waves and a relativistic plasma result in the formation of the population inversions necessary for synchrotron maser emission (SME) across…
A parametric study of population inversions in relativistic plasmas through nonresonant interactions with Alfvén waves and their applications to Fast Radio Bursts
Killian Long, Asaf Pe'er
Synchrotron maser emission is a leading candidate to explain the coherent emission from Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs). This mechanism requires a population inversion in order to operate…
Formation of population inversions in relativistic plasmas through nonresonant interactions with Alfvén waves
Killian Long, Asaf Pe'er
We solve the full quasilinear kinetic equation governing nonresonant interactions of Alfvén waves with relativistic plasmas. This work was motivated by the need to determine the en…
Synchrotron maser from weakly magnetised neutron stars as the emission mechanism of fast radio bursts
Killian Long, Asaf Pe'er
The origin of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) is still mysterious. All FRBs to date show extremely high brightness temperatures, requiring a coherent emission mechanism. Using constraints…
Dynamical Properties of Internal Shocks Revisited
Asaf Pe'er, Killian Long, Piergiorgio Casella
Internal shocks between propagating plasma shells, originally ejected at different times with different velocities are believed to play a major role in dissipating the kinetic ener…
