The physics of fast radio bursts

B Zhang - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2023 - APS
Fast radio bursts (FRBs), millisecond-duration bursts prevailing in the radio sky, are the
latest large puzzle in the Universe and have been a subject of intense observational and …

Novel constraints on axions produced in pulsar polar-cap cascades

D Noordhuis, A Prabhu, SJ Witte, AY Chen, F Cruz… - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
Axions can be copiously produced in localized regions of neutron star magnetospheres
where the ambient plasma is unable to efficiently screen the induced electric field. As these …

Extended particle-in-cell schemes for physics in ultrastrong laser fields: Review and developments

A Gonoskov, S Bastrakov, E Efimenko, A Ilderton… - Physical review E, 2015 - APS
We review common extensions of particle-in-cell (PIC) schemes which account for strong
field phenomena in laser-plasma interactions. After describing the physical processes of …

Coherent emission mechanisms in astrophysical plasmas

DB Melrose - Reviews of Modern Plasma Physics, 2017 - Springer
Three known examples of coherent emission in radio astronomical sources are reviewed:
plasma emission, electron cyclotron maser emission (ECME) and pulsar radio emission …

Dense Electron-Positron Plasmas and Ultraintense rays from Laser-Irradiated Solids

CP Ridgers, CS Brady, R Duclous, JG Kirk, K Bennett… - Physical review …, 2012 - APS
In simulations of a 10 PW laser striking a solid, we demonstrate the possibility of producing a
pure electron-positron plasma by the same processes as those thought to operate in high …

Origin of pulsar radio emission

A Philippov, A Timokhin, A Spitkovsky - Physical review letters, 2020 - APS
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 …
