On the possibility of radio emission of planets around pulsars
Fabrice Mottez
A planet orbiting around a pulsar would be immersed in an ultra-relativistic under-dense plasma flow. It would behave as a unipolar inductor, with a significant potential drop alon…

A magnetic thrust action on small bodies orbiting a pulsar
Fabrice Mottez, J. Heyvaerts
We investigate the electromagnetic interaction of a relativistic stellar wind with small bodies in orbit around the star. Based on our work on the theory of Alfvén wings to relativ…

Magnetic coupling of planets and small bodies with a pulsar wind"
Fabrice Mottez, J. Heyvaerts
We investigate the electromagnetic interaction of a relativistic stellar wind with a planet or a smaller body in orbit around the star. This may be relevant to objects orbiting a p…
