Magnetars are young and highly magnetized neutron stars that display a wide array of X-ray
activity including short bursts, large outbursts, giant flares, and quasi-periodic oscillations …

We provide a pedagogical review article on fundamentals and applications of the quantum
dynamics in strong electromagnetic fields in QED and QCD. The fundamentals include the …

Strong-field effects in laboratory and astrophysical plasmas and high intensity laser and
cavity systems are considered, related to quantum electrodynamical (QED) photon-photon …

There has recently been growing evidence for the existence of neutron stars possessing
magnetic fields with strengths that exceed the quantum critical field strength of 4.4× 10 13 G …

Magnetars are neutron stars with ultrastrong magnetic fields, which can be observed in x-
rays. Polarization measurements could provide information on their magnetic fields and …

Abstract The “Magnificent Seven”(M7) are a group of radio-quiet Isolated Neutron Stars
(INSs) discovered in the soft X-rays through their purely thermal surface emission. Owing to …

Report on progress in physics: observation of the Breit–Wheeler process and vacuum
birefringence in heavy-ion collisions - IOPscience Skip to content IOP Science home …

The phase-and energy-resolved polarization measurements of accreting X-ray pulsars
(XRPs) allow us to test different theoretical models of their emission, and they also provide …

Discovery of pulsations from a number of ultra-luminous X-ray (ULX) sources proved that
accretion onto neutron stars can produce luminosities exceeding the Eddington limit by …

We construct atmosphere models for strongly magnetized neutron stars with surface fields
and effective temperatures. The atmospheres directly determine the characteristics of …
