QED Phenomena in an Ultrastrong Magnetic Field. II. Electron-Positron Scattering, $e^{\pm}$ -Ion Scattering, and Relativistic Bremsstrahlung

Alexander Kostenko, Christopher Thompson

This paper continues the approach of Kostenko \& Thompson to calculating quantum electrodynamic processes in the ultrastrong magnetic field near some neutron stars, such as magneta…

QED Phenomena in an Ultrastrong Magnetic Field. I. Electron-Photon Scattering, Pair Creation, and Annihilation

Alexander Kostenko, Christopher Thompson

We evaluate several basic electrodynamic processes as modified by the presence of a very strong magnetic field, exceeding $B_{Q} \equiv m^{2} / e = 4.4 \times 1 0^{13}$ G. These resu…

Limits on Protoplanet Growth by Accretion of Small Solids

Mohamad Ali-Dib, Christopher Thompson

This paper identifies constraints on the growth of a small planetary core (0.3 M $_{\oplus}$ ) that accretes millimeter-sized pebbles from a gaseous disk. We construct time-dependent…
