Strong Field QED, Astrophysics, and Laboratory Astrophysics
Sang Pyo Kim
Astrophysical compact objects, such as magnetars, neutron star mergers, etc, have strong electromagnetic fields beyond the Schwinger field (). I…
Schwinger Pair Production and Vacuum Birefringence around High Magnetized Neutron Stars
Chul Min Kim, Sang Pyo Kim
Highly magnetized neutron stars have magnetic fields of order of the critical field and can lead to measurable QED effects. We consider the Goldreich-Julian pulsar model with super…
Vacuum Birefringence in a Supercritical Magnetic Field and a Subcritical Electric Field
Chul Min Kim, Sang Pyo Kim
Recent ultra-intense lasers of subcritical fields and proposed observations of the x-rays polarization from highly magnetized neutron stars of supercritical fields have attracted a…
Magnetars as Laboratories for Strong Field QED
Chul Min Kim, Sang Pyo Kim
A strong electromagnetic field polarizes the vacuum and in the presence of an electric field creates pairs of a charged particle and its anti-particle. Magnetars, highly magnetized…
