Photon emission from weakly magnetized neutral pions
Xinyang Wang, Fan Lin, Igor Shovkovy
Using a hadronic framework, we derive an explicit expression for photon production from neutral pions in a weak background magnetic field. Our calculation is built on the proton tr…
Neutrino production mechanisms in strongly magnetized quark matter: Current status and open questions
Igor A. Shovkovy, Ritesh Ghosh
We review the main neutrino emission mechanisms operating in dense quark matter under strong magnetic fields, with particular emphasis on conditions expected in the interiors of co…
Magnetoviscosity of relativistic plasma
Ritesh Ghosh, Igor A. Shovkovy
Using first-principles quantum field-theoretical methods, we investigate the shear and bulk viscosities of strongly magnetized relativistic plasmas. The analysis is performed withi…
Review of heat and charge transport in strongly magnetized relativistic plasmas
Igor A. Shovkovy, Ritesh Ghosh
We review field-theoretic studies of charge transport in hot relativistic plasmas under strong magnetic fields and extend the analysis to thermal conductivity. The calculations rel…
Neutrino-antineutrino synchrotron emission from magnetized dense quark matter
Ritesh Ghosh, Igor A. Shovkovy
Using the Kadanoff-Baym formalism, we perform a detailed study of neutrino-antineutrino synchrotron emission from strongly magnetized, dense quark matter under conditions relevant…
Neutrino energy and momentum emission from magnetized dense quark matter
Ritesh Ghosh, Igor A. Shovkovy
Using first-principles field-theoretic methods, we investigate neutrino emission from strongly magnetized dense quark matter under conditions relevant to compact stars. We develop…
