Formation of "Lightnings" in a Neutron Star Magnetosphere and the Nature of RRATs
Ya. N. Istomin, D. N. Sobyanin
The connection between the radio emission from "lightnings" produced by the absorption of high-energy photons from the cosmic gamma-ray background in a neutron star magnetosphere a…

The Filling of Neutron Star Magnetospheres with Plasma: Dynamics of the Motion of Electrons and Positrons
Ya. N. Istomin, D. N. Sobyanin
We consider the motion of charged particles in the vacuum magnetospheres of rotating neutron stars with a strong surface magnetic field, B>10^(12) G. The electrons and positrons fa…

Electron-Positron Plasma Generation in a Magnetar Magnetosphere
Ya. N. Istomin, D. N. Sobyanin
We consider the electron-positron plasma generation processes in the magnetospheres of magnetars - neutron stars with strong surface magnetic fields, B = 10^(14) - 10^(15) G. We sh…
