Twisted-pair unilateral reconnection: A unifying driver for magnetically powered astrophysical bursts
Shu-Ping Yan, Wenhui Yu, Jing Ye +11
Magnetic reconnection in twisted loops has long been invoked as an engine powering energetic transients from black hole accretion to neutron star mergers, yet never directly observ…
A Self-Consistent Model of Kinetic Alfven Solitons in Pulsar Wind Plasma: Linking Soliton Characteristics to Pulsar Observables
Manpreet Singh, Geetika Slathia, N. S. Saini +1
A self-consistent model is presented for the formation and propagation of kinetic Alfvén (KA) solitons in mass-loaded filaments within the pulsar wind, where a magnetized electron…
Magnetic Flux Tubes Illuminated by Pulsar Winds
Yifan Sun, C. -Y. Ng, Siming Liu
Observations of linear structure connecting pulsars to gamma-ray halos reveal injection of TeV electrons into the interstellar medium (ISM). In some cases, this could be attributed…
Interstellar Medium Modulation of Nonlinear Kinetic Alfvén Morphology in Structured Galactic Environments
Manpreet Singh, Siming Liu, N. S. Saini
We present a spatially dependent framework for the existence and propagation of nonlinear kinetic Alfvén (KA) structures in the interstellar medium (ISM). Using a multi-component…
