Radiation Reaction in Relativistic Magnetized Shocks of Neutron Star Magnetospheres
Arno Vanthieghem, Amir Levinson
The steepening of fast magnetosonic waves in the inner magnetospheres of magnetars can produce monster shocks, whose precursor emission may account for fast radio bursts (FRBs). Fo…
Theoretical Constraints on Neutron Star Superfluidity from Her X-1 Precession
Anton Biryukov, Amir Levinson, Pavel Abolmasov
Recent IXPE observations of Her X-1 reveal correlations between flux, polarization degree, and polarization angle with its 35-day superorbital cycle. These measurements have been i…
Relativistically Magnetized Collisionless Shocks in Pair Plasma: I. Solitons, Chaos, and Thermalization
Arno Vanthieghem, Amir Levinson
In this paper, the first in a series, we present a new theoretical model for the global structure and dissipation of relativistically magnetized collisionless shock waves. Quite re…
Fast radio bursts as precursor radio emission from monster shocks
Arno Vanthieghem, Amir Levinson
It has been proposed recently that the breaking of MHD waves in the inner magnetosphere of strongly magnetized neutron stars can power different types of high-energy transients. Mo…
