Diocotron Modes in Pulsar Magnetospheres: Charge Diffusion and Implications for Radio Emission Variability
Matthew Goodbred, Anatoly Spitkovsky
The diocotron instability is a non-axisymmetric plasma instability that should occur generically in the differentially rotating equatorial plane of pulsar magnetospheres. We presen…

First-Principles Theory of the Relativistic Magnetic Reconnection Rate in Astrophysical Pair Plasmas
Matthew Goodbred, Yi-Hsin Liu
We develop a first-principles model for the relativistic magnetic reconnection rate in strongly magnetized pair plasmas. By considering the energy budget and required current densi…
