Propagation of a Strong Fast Magnetosonic Wave in the Magnetosphere of a Neutron Star
Alexander Y. Chen, Yajie Yuan, Xinyu Li +1
We study the propagation of a strong, low frequency, linearly polarized fast magnetosonic wave inside the magnetosphere of a neutron star. The relative strength of the wave…
Alfvén wave mode conversion in pulsar magnetospheres
Yajie Yuan, Yuri Levin, Ashley Bransgrove +1
The radio emission anomaly coincident with the 2016 glitch of the Vela pulsar may be caused by a star quake that launches Alfvén waves into the magnetosphere, disturbing the origin…
Plasmoid ejection by Alfvén waves and the fast radio bursts from SGR 1935+2154
Yajie Yuan, Andrei M. Beloborodov, Alexander Y. Chen +1
Using numerical simulations we show that low-amplitude Alfvén waves from a magnetar quake propagate to the outer magnetosphere and convert to "plasmoids" (closed magnetic loops) wh…
A Numerical Model for the Multi-wavelength Lightcurves of PSR J0030+0451
Alexander Y. Chen, Yajie Yuan, Georgios Vasilopoulos
Recent modeling of Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer(NICER) observations of the millisecond pulsar PSR J0030+0451 suggests that the magnetic field of the pulsar is non-dip…
Inverse Compton Cascades in Pair-Producing Gaps: Effects of Triplet Pair Production
Maria Petropoulou, Yajie Yuan, Alexander Y. Chen +1
Inverse Compton-pair cascades are initiated when gamma-rays are absorbed on an ambient soft photon field to produce relativistic pairs, which in turn up-scatter the same soft photo…
Black hole magnetosphere with small scale flux tubes--II. Stability and dynamics
Yajie Yuan, Anatoly Spitkovsky, Roger D. Blandford +1
In some Seyfert Galaxies, the hard X-rays that produce fluorescent emission lines are thought to be generated in a hot corona that is compact and located at only a few gravitationa…
