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…
Linear to circular conversion in the polarized radio emission of a magnetar
Marcus E. Lower, Simon Johnston, Maxim Lyutikov +13
Radio emission from magnetars provides a unique probe of the relativistic, magnetized plasma within the near-field environment of these ultra-magnetic neutron stars. The transmitte…
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…
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…
