Bunching instability of rotating relativistic electron layers and coherent synchrotron radiation

Bjoern S. Schmekel, Richard V. E. Lovelace, Ira M. Wasserman

We study the stability of a collisionless, relativistic, finite-strength, cylindrical layer of charged particles in free space by solving the linearized Vlasov-Maxwell equations an…

Spin-perpendicular kicks from evanescent binaries formed in the aftermath of rotational core-collapse and the nature of the observed bimodal distribution of pulsar peculiar velocities

Monica Colpi, Ira Wasserman

If rotating core collapse leads to the formation of a proto-neutron star binary in super-close orbit, then the lighter star, propelled toward the minimum stable mass, explodes. The…

The tensor virial method and its applications to self-gravitating superfluids

A. Sedrakian, I. Wasserman

This review starts with a discussion of the hierarchy of scales, relevant to the description of superfluids in neutron stars, which motivates a subsequent elementary exposition of…

Kilohertz Quasi-Periodic Oscillations, Magnetic Fields and Mass of Neutron Stars in Low-Mass X-Ray Binaries

Dong Lai, Richard Lovelace, Ira Wasserman

It has recently been suggested that the maximum observed quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) frequencies, , for several low-mass X-ray binaries, particularly 4U 1820-30, corr…

Density Fluctuations in the Galactic Halo and Experimental Searches for Dark Matter

Ira Wasserman

Clumping of elementary dark matter in the Galaxy halo may be inevitable. If so, the nondetection of certain dark matter candidates could simply mean that the local halo density is…
