A new model for QPOs in accreting black holes: application to the microquasar GRS 1915+105
J. Petri
(abridged) In this paper we extend the idea suggested previously by Petri (2005a,b) that the high frequency quasi-periodic oscillations observed in low-mass X-ray binaries may be e…
The magnetron instability in a pulsar's cylindrical electrosphere
Jerome Petri
(abridged) The physics of the pulsar magnetosphere remains poorly constrained by observations. Little is known about their emission mechanism. Large vacuum gaps probably exist, and…
Magnetic reconnection at the termination shock in a striped pulsar wind
Jerome Petri, Yuri Lyubarsky
Most of the rotational luminosity of a pulsar is carried away by a relativistic magnetised wind in which the matter energy flux is negligible compared to the Poynting flux. Near th…
Relativistic stabilisation of the diocotron instability in a pulsar "cylindrical" electrosphere
J. Petri
In a previous work, we showed that the differentially rotating equatorial disk in the pulsar's electrosphere is diocotron unstable in the non-relativistic regime. In this paper, we…
Numerical solution of the linear dispersion relation in a relativistic pair plasma
J Petri, J G Kirk
We describe an algorithm that computes the linear dispersion relation of waves and instabilities in relativistic plasmas within a Vlasov-Maxwell description. The method used is ful…
Forced oscillations in relativistic accretion disks and QPOs
J. Petri
In this work we explore the idea that the high frequency QPOs observed in LMXBs may be explained as a resonant coupling between the neutron star spin and epicyclic modes of accreti…
