General-relativistic and non-ideal radiative cooling in neutron star magnetospheres
João Joaquim, Francisco Assunção, Pablo J. Bilbao +1
Radiation reaction cooling plays an important role in describing the extreme plasma conditions found in the magnetospheres of astrophysical compact objects. Strong electromagnetic…

Suppression of pair beam instabilities in a laboratory analogue of blazar pair cascades
Charles D. Arrowsmith, Francesco Miniati, Pablo J. Bilbao +28
The generation of dense electron-positron pair beams in the laboratory can enable direct tests of theoretical models of -ray bursts and active galactic nuclei. We have successfu…

Direct Measurement of Electron Heating in Electron-Only Reconnection in a Laboratory Mini-Magnetosphere
Lucas Rovige, Filipe D. Cruz, Timothy Van Hoomissen +6
We report on the experimental observation of electron heating in electron-only magnetic reconnection in laser-driven laboratory mini-magnetospheres on the Large Plasma Device (LAPD…
