1D PIC Simulations of Resonant Scattering-Driven Pair Cascades in Magnetar Magnetospheres
Jens F. Mahlmann, Alexander A. Philippov, Adrien Soudais +2
Hard X-rays in persistent magnetar emission originate from radiative processes in pair-loaded magnetospheric plasma, yet self-consistent kinetic simulations of such radiation-rich…
Linear Mode Conversion in Ultramagnetized Pair Plasmas: Single-Parameter Scaling
Dawei Dai, Ashley Bransgrove, Anirudh Prabhu +1
In neutron star (NS) magnetospheres, plasma waves propagate as normal modes with distinct propagation dynamics that strongly influence observable signals. This letter presents a un…
Entity -- Hardware-agnostic Particle-in-Cell Code for Plasma Astrophysics. I: Curvilinear Special Relativistic Module
Hayk Hakobyan, Ludwig M. Böss, Yangyang Cai +8
Entity is a new-generation, fully open-source particle-in-cell (PIC) code developed to overcome key limitations in astrophysical plasma modeling, particularly the extreme separatio…
Superluminal Wave Activation at Relativistic Magnetized Shocks
Jens F. Mahlmann, Logan Eskildsen, Arno Vanthieghem +2
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are extremely energetic radio transients, some are generated in magnetar magnetospheres and winds. Despite a growing number of observations, their emission…
Electrodynamics and dissipation in the binary magnetosphere of pre-merger neutron stars
Jens F. Mahlmann, Andrei M. Beloborodov
We investigate energy release in the interacting magnetospheres of binary neutron stars (BNSs) with global 3D force-free electrodynamics simulations. The system dynamics depend on…
Spindown of Pulsars Interacting with Companion Winds: Impact of Magnetospheric Compression
Yici Zhong, Anatoly Spitkovsky, Jens F. Mahlmann +1
The presence of a companion wind in neutron star binary systems can form a contact discontinuity well within the pulsar's light cylinder, effectively creating a waveguide that conf…
