Wave dispersion in pulsar plasma: 3. Beam-driven instabilities

M. Z. Rafat, D. B. Melrose, A. Mastrano

Beam-driven instabilities are considered in a pulsar plasma assuming that both the background plasma and the beam are relativistic Jüttner distributions. In the rest frame of the b…

Throwing $π$ at a wall

M. Z. Rafat, D. Dobie

We discuss a method for calculating $π$ using elastic collision between two masses $M$ and $m$ , with $X = m / M = 1 0^{2 (1 - d)}$ where $d$ is an integer, and a wall. The total…

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 $T_{b} \sim 1 0^{35}$ K, impose on the…
