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…
Pulsar radiation belts and transient radio emission
Q. Luo, D. B. Melrose
It is proposed that radiation belts similar to the ones in the planetary magnetosphere can exist for a pulsar with a relatively long period and a strong magnetic field. In the belt…
The induced turbulence effect on propagation of radio emission in pulsar magnetospheres
Qinghuan Luo, D. B. Melrose
The effect of photon-beam-induced turbulence on propagation of radio emission in a pulsar magnetosphere is discussed. Beamed radio emission with a high brightness temperature can g…
Coherent synchrotron emission from cosmic ray air showers
Qinghuan Luo
Coherent synchrotron emission by particles moving along semi-infinite tracks is discussed, with a specific application to radio emission from air showers induced by high-energy cos…
Anisotropic weak turbulence of Alfven waves in collisionless astrophysical plasmas
Q. Luo, D. B. Melrose
The evolution of Alfven turbulence due to three-wave interactions is discussed using kinetic theory for a collisionless, thermal plasma. There are three low-frequency modes, analog…
