Thermal and Bulk Comptonization in Accretion-Powered X-Ray Pulsars
Peter A. Becker, Michael T. Wolff
We develop a new theoretical model for the spectral formation process in accretion-powered X-ray pulsars based on a detailed treatment of the bulk and thermal Comptonization occurr…

Time-Dependent Stochastic Particle Acceleration in Astrophysical Plasmas: Exact Solutions Including Momentum-Dependent Escape
P. A. Becker, T. Le, C. D. Dermer
Stochastic acceleration of charged particles due to interactions with magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) plasma waves is the dominant process leading to the formation of the high-energy ele…

Further constraints on electron acceleration in solar noise storms
Prasad Subramanian, Peter A. Becker
We reexamine the energetics of nonthermal electron acceleration in solar noise storms. A new result is obtained for the minimum nonthermal electron number density required to produ…
