Current Flow and Pair Creation at Low Altitude in Rotation Powered Pulsars' Force-Free Magnetospheres: Space-Charge Limited Flow
A. N. Timokhin, J. Arons
(shortened) We report the results of an investigation of particle acceleration and electron-positron plasma generation at low altitude in the polar magnetic flux tubes of Rotation…
Magnetized Relativistic Jets and Long-Duration GRBs from Magnetar Spindown during Core-Collapse Supernovae
N. Bucciantini, E. Quataert, B. D. Metzger +3
We use ideal axisymmetric relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations to calculate the spindown of a newly formed millisecond, B ~ 10^{15} G, magnetar and its interaction with the…
Galactic Compact Objects Section of the White Paper on the Status and Future of Ground-based TeV Gamma-ray Astronomy
P. Kaaret, A. A. Abdo, J. Arons +22
This is a report on the findings of the Galactic compact objects working group for the white paper on the status and future of TeV gamma-ray astronomy. The white paper is an APS co…
Relativistic MHD Winds from Rotating Neutron Stars
N. Bucciantini, T. A. Thompson, J. Arons +1
We solve the time-dependent dynamics of axisymmetric, general relativistic MHD winds from rotating neutron stars. The mass loss rate is obtained self consistently as a solution of…
Time-dependence in Relativistic Collisionless Shocks: Theory of the Variable "Wisps" in the Crab Nebula
Anatoly Spitkovsky, Jonathan Arons
We describe results from time-dependent numerical modeling of the collisionless reverse shock terminating the pulsar wind in the Crab Nebula. We treat the upstream relativistic win…
High-Energy Emission from the PSR B1259-63 System near Periastron
M. Tavani, J. E. Grove, W. Purcell +11
We report the results of a CGRO 3-week observation of the binary system containing the 47 ms pulsar PSR B1259-63 orbiting around a Be star companion in a very eccentric orbit. The…
