Coherence of Multi-Dimensional Pair Production Discharges in Polar Caps of Pulsars
Alexander Chernoglazov, Alexander Philippov, Andrey Timokhin
We report on the first self-consistent multidimensional particle-in-cell numerical simulations of non-homogeneous pair discharges in polar caps of rotation-powered pulsars. By intr…
Poynting flux transport channels formed in polar cap regions of neutron star magnetospheres
Jan Benáček, Andrey Timokhin, Patricio A. Muñoz +4
Pair cascades in polar cap regions of neutron stars are considered to be an essential process in various models of coherent radio emissions of pulsars. The cascades produce pair pl…
Electric field screening in pair discharges and generation of pulsar radio emission
Elizabeth A. Tolman, Alexander A. Philippov, Andrey N. Timokhin
Pulsar radio emission may be generated in pair discharges which fill the pulsar magnetosphere with plasma as an accelerating electric field is screened by freshly created pairs. In…
A model for nulling and mode changing in pulsars
A. N. Timokhin
We propose that in some pulsars the magnetosphere has different states with different geometries or/and different distributions of currents, it occasionally switches between them.…
