Polarized synchrotron emission from the equatorial current sheet in gamma-ray pulsars
Benoît Cerutti, Jérémy Mortier, Alexander A. Philippov
Polarization is a powerful diagnostic tool to constrain the site of the high-energy pulsed emission and particle acceleration in gamma-ray pulsars. Recent particle-in-cell simulati…
Ab-initio pulsar magnetosphere: three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations of oblique pulsars
Alexander A. Philippov, Anatoly Spitkovsky, Benoit Cerutti
We present first-principles relativistic particle-in-cell simulations of the oblique pulsar magnetosphere with pair formation. The magnetosphere starts to form with particles extra…
Particle acceleration in axisymmetric pulsar current sheets
Benoît Cerutti, Alexander Philippov, Kyle Parfrey +1
The equatorial current sheet in pulsar magnetospheres is often regarded as an ideal site for particle acceleration via relativistic reconnection. Using 2D spherical particle-in-cel…
