Compact formulae, dynamics and radiation of charged particles under synchro-curvature losses
Daniele Viganò, Diego F. Torres, Kouichi Hirotani +1
We consider the fundamental problem of charged particles moving along and around a curved magnetic field line, revising the synchro-curvature radiation formulae introduced by Cheng…
An assessment of the pulsar outer gap model. I: Assumptions, uncertainties, and implications for the gap size and the accelerating field
Daniele Viganò, Diego F. Torres, Kouichi Hirotani +1
The popular outer gap model of magnetospheric emission from pulsars has been widely applied to explain the properties observed in -rays. However, its quantitative predictions re…
An assessment of the pulsar outer gap model. II: Implications for the predicted -ray spectra
Daniele Viganò, Diego F. Torres, Kouichi Hirotani +1
One of the most important predictions of any gap model for pulsar magnetospheres is the predicted -ray spectra. In the outer gap model, the properties of the synchro-curvature r…
Spectral features in isolated neutron stars induced by inhomogeneous surface temperatures
Daniele Viganò, Rosalba Perna, Nanda Rea +1
The thermal X-ray spectra of several isolated neutron stars display deviations from a pure blackbody. The accurate physical interpretation of these spectral features bears profound…
