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…
