Inadequacies in the conventional treatment of the radiation field of moving sources

Houshang Ardavan, Arzhang Ardavan, John Singleton +2

There is a fundamental difference between the classical expression for the retarded electromagnetic potential and the corresponding retarded solution of the wave equation that gove…

Comparison of multiwavelength observations of 9 broad-band pulsars with the spectrum of the emission from an extended current with a superluminally rotating distribution pattern

H. Ardavan, A. Ardavan, J. Singleton +7

The observed spectra of 9 pulsars for which multiwavelength data are available from radio to - or -ray bands (Crab, Vela, Geminga, B0656+14, B1055-52, B1509-58, B1706-44, B19…

A new mechanism for generating broadband pulsar-like polarization

Houshang Ardavan, Arzhang Ardavan, Joseph Fasel +4

Observational data imply the presence of superluminal electric currents in pulsar magnetospheres. Such sources are not inconsistent with special relativity; they have already been…

Response to "Comment on `Method of handling the divergences in the radiation theory of sources that move faster than their own waves'" [J. Math. Phys. 40, 4331 (1999)]

Houshang Ardavan, Arzhang Ardavan, John Singleton +2

There is a fundamental difference between the classical expression for the retarded electromagnetic potential and the corresponding retarded solution of the wave equation that gove…

Morphology of the nonspherically decaying radiation generated by a rotating superluminal source: reply to comment

Houshang Ardavan, Arzhang Ardavan, John Singleton +2

The fact that the formula used by Hannay in his Comment is "from a standard text on electrodynamics" neither warrants that it is universally applicable, nor that it is unequivocall…

Spectral properties of the nonspherically decaying radiation generated by a rotating superluminal source

Houshang Ardavan, Arzhang Ardavan, John Singleton +2

The focusing of the radiation generated by a polarization current with a superluminally rotating distribution pattern is of a higher order in the plane of rotation than in other di…
