Origin of Pulsar Radio Emission
Alexander Philippov, Andrey Timokhin, Anatoly Spitkovsky
Since pulsars were discovered as emitters of bright coherent radio emission more than half a century ago, the cause of the emission has remained a mystery. In this Letter we demons…
The Fast Radio Burst Luminosity Function and Death Line in the Low-Twist Magnetar Model
Zorawar Wadiasingh, Paz Beniamini, Andrey Timokhin +4
We explore the burst energy distribution of fast radio bursts (FRBs) in the low-twist magnetar model of Wadiasingh and Timokhin (2019). Motivated by the power-law fluence distribut…
Repeating Fast Radio Bursts from Magnetars with Low Magnetospheric Twist
Zorawar Wadiasingh, Andrey Timokhin
We analyze the statistics of pulse arrival times in fast radio burst (FRB) 121102 and demonstrate that they are remarkably similar to statistics of magnetar high-energy short burst…
On the maximum pair multiplicity of pulsar cascades
A. N. Timokhin, A. K. Harding
We study electron-positron pair production in polar caps of energetic pulsars to determine the maximum multiplicity of pair plasma a pulsar can produce under the most favorable con…
Electron positron pair flow and current composition in the pulsar magnetosphere
Gabriele Brambilla, Constantinos Kalapotharakos, Andrey Timokhin +2
We performed ab-initio Particle-In-Cell (PIC) simulations of a pulsar magnetosphere with electron-positron plasma produced only in the regions close to the neutron star surface. We…
3D Kinetic Pulsar Magnetosphere Models: Connecting to Gamma-Ray Observations
Constantinos Kalapotharakos, Gabriele Brambilla, Andrey Timokhin +2
We present 3D global kinetic pulsar magnetosphere models, where the charged particle trajectories and the corresponding electromagnetic fields are treated self-consistently. For ou…
