The evolution of extragalactic radio sources

Q. Luo, E. M. Sadler

A model for the evolution of low-luminosity radio galaxies is presented. In the model, the lobes inflated by low-power jets are assumed to expand in near pressure-balance against t…

Saturated magnetic field amplification at supernova shocks

Qinghuan Luo, Don Melrose

Cosmic-ray streaming instabilities at supernova shocks are discussed in the quasilinear diffusion formalism which takes into account the feedback effect of wave growth on the cosmi…

Linear acceleration emission: 2 Power spectrum

D. B. Melrose, Q. Luo

The theory of linear acceleration emission is developed for a large amplitude electrostatic wave in which all particles become highly relativistic in much less than a wave period.…

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…

Oscillating pulsar polar gaps

Q. Luo, D. B. Melrose

An analytical model for oscillating pair creation above the pulsar polar cap is presented in which the parallel electric field is treated as a large amplitude, superluminal, electr…

X-ray emission from magnetic dissipation in the magnetar magnetosphere

Qinghuan Luo

Magnetic dissipation through decay of Alfven waves in the magnetar magnetosphere is discussed. Transport of magnetic fields in the star leads to dissipation of the magnetic energy…
