Streaming instability in neutron star magnetospheres: No indication of soliton-like waves

J Benáček, PA Muñoz, J Büchner, A Jessner - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2024 - aanda.org
Context. Coherent radiation of pulsars, magnetars, and fast radio bursts could, in theory, be
interpreted as radiation from solitons and soliton-like waves. Solitons are meant to contain a …
