Response of a Relativistically Streaming Pulsar Plasma
M. Z. Rafat, D. B. Melrose, V. M. Demcsak
The response tensor is derived for a relativistically streaming, strongly magnetized, one-dimensional Jüttner distribution of electrons and positrons, referred to as a pulsar plasm…
A rotation-driven pulsar radio emission mechanism
D. B. Melrose, M. Z. Rafat, A. Mastrano
We propose and discuss an alternative pulsar radio emission mechanism that relies on rotation-driven plasma oscillations, rather than on a beam-driven instability, and suggest that…
Pulsar radio emission mechanisms: a critique
D. B. Melrose, M. Z. Rafat, A. Mastrano
We consider critically the three most widely favored pulsar radio emission mechanisms: coherent curvature emission (CCE), beam-driven relativistic plasma emission (RPE) and anomalo…
Coherence constraints on physical parameters at bright radio sources and FRB emission mechanism
Maxim Lyutikov, Mohammad Rafat
We discuss physical constrains that observations of high brightness temperature coherent radio emission, with brightness temperatures as high as K, impose on the…
Linear acceleration emission: 1 Motion in a large amplitude electrostatic wave
D. B. Melrose, M. Z. Rafat, Q. Luo
We consider the motion of a charge in a large amplitude electrostatic wave with a triangular wave form relevant to an oscillating model of a pulsar magnetosphere. The (one-dimensio…
