A new nonlinear electromagnetic wave mode in a plasma is reported. Its existence depends on the interaction of an intense circularly polarized electromagnetic wave with a plasma, where quantum electrodynamical photon--photon scattering is…
Magnetic AB stars are known to produce periodic radio pulses by the electron cyclotron maser emission (ECME) mechanism. Only 19 such stars, known as 'Main-sequence Radio Pulse emitters' (MRPs) are currently known. The majority of MRPs have…
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are large clouds of magnetized plasma ejected from the Sun, and are often associated with acceleration of electrons that can result in radio emission via various mechanisms. However, the underlying mechanism…
In this Letter we propose that coherent radio emission of Crab, other young energetic pulsars, and millisecond pulsars is produced in the magnetospheric current sheet beyond the light cylinder. We carry out global and local two-dimensional…
The propagation of radio emission in pulsar magnetospheres is discussed. We follow a kinematics model in order to derive dispersion relations for electromagnetic oscillations and transversal waves, propagating in a cold moving plasma. We…
We theoretically demonstrate the generation and radiation of coherent nanoplasmons powered by a single three-level quantum emitter on a plasmonic nanoresonator. By pumping the three-level emitter in a Raman configuration, we show a pathway…
Examination of equilibrium radiation in plasma media shows that the spectral energy distribution of such radiation is different from the Planck equilibrium radiation. Using the approach of quantum electrodynamics the general relation for…
The electron cyclotron maser is the coherent emission process that gives rise to the radio lighthouse effect observed in the hot magnetic chemically peculiar star CU Virginis. It has also been proposed to explain the highly circularly…
Context. The Sun is an active source of radio emission ranging from long duration radio bursts associated with solar flares and coronal mass ejections to more complex, short duration radio bursts such as solar S bursts, radio spikes and…
We discuss physical constrains that observations of high brightness temperature coherent radio emission, with brightness temperatures as high as $T_b \sim 10^{35}$ K, impose on the plasma parameters at relativistically moving astrophysical…
During Type III solar radio bursts, electromagnetic waves are radiated at plasma frequency $\omega_p$ and its harmonics by electrostatic wave turbulence generated by electron beams ejected by Sun in randomly inhomogeneous solar wind and…
Coherent synchrotron emission by particles moving along semi-infinite tracks is discussed, with a specific application to radio emission from air showers induced by high-energy cosmic rays. It is shown that in general, radiation from a…
Using all available multi-component radio pulse profiles for pulsars with medium to long periods and good polarisation data, we have constructed a two-dimensional image of the mean radio beamshape. This shows a peak near the centre of the…
We discuss a mechanism for intense electromagnetic wave emission at an astrophysical relativistic shock in a magnetized collisionless plasma. At the magnetized shock, the particle reflection by a compressed magnetic field of the shock…
The high-energy emission mechanisms based on the radio photon reprocessing by the ultrarelativistic plasma particles in the open field line tube of a pulsar are considered. The particles are believed to acquire relativistic gyration…
Linear acceleration emission is one of the mechanisms that might explain intense coherent emissions of radio pulsars. This mechanism is not well understood, however, because the effects of collective plasma response and nonlinear plasma…
We present a model for pulsar radio eclipses in some binary systems, and test this model for PSRs B1957+20 and J2051-0827. We suggest that in these binaries the companion stars are degenerate dwarfs with strong surface magnetic fields. The…
Pulsars are neutron stars, stellar corpses left over after supernova explosions of stars about ten times as massive as our Sun, with densities comparable to the atomic nucleus', spinning with periods from few milliseconds up to few seconds,…
Ions, protons and possibly a small flux of electrons and positrons are accelerated outward from the polar cap of a normal or millisecond pulsar whose rotational spin is antiparallel with its magnetic moment. The Langmuir modes of this…
Based on definitions, two joint-criteria, namely, the optical-thin constraint and the energy budget constraint, are proposed to judge whether the emission nature of radio pulsars is incoherent or obligatory to be coherent. We find that the…
