The pulse profiles of the transient Be/X-ray binary EXO 2030+375 show strong dependence on energy, as well as on its luminosity state, and are asymmetric in shape. We want to identify the emission components of the two magnetic poles in the…
The uncertainty of the energy measurement of the electron beam on circular electron positron collider (CEPC) must be smaller than 10$\mathrm{MeV}$ to make sure the accurate measurement of the mass of the Higgs boson. In order to simplify…
We build a self-consistent model of a warm scattering corona near an accreting black hole in Kerr geometry, in the regime of slow ($\sim 0.01$ Eddington) mass accretion. An iterative Monte Carlo procedure is developed that incorporates…
A large class of stationary, non-rotating black hole metrics is proposed, in which the interior is regular with a core consisting of a condensate of Higgs and $Z$ bosons generated from the nuclear binding energy of the initial H atoms.…
The recent detection of polarized radiation from Sgr A* requires a non-thermal electron distribution for the emitting plasma. The Faraday rotation measure must be small, placing strong limits on the density and magnetic field strength. We…
The search for weak components outside the main pulse (MP) in the radiation of pulsars at a frequency of 110 MHz observed on the LPA LPI telescope in the Pushchino Multibeam Pulsar Search (PUMPS) has been carried out. The sample included 96…
Emission of high energy gamma rays via the non-linear inverse Compton scattering process (ICS) in interactions of ultra-intense laser pulses with thin solid foils is studied using particle-in-cell simulations. It is shown that the angular…
There remain several definitive gamma-ray pulsars that are as yet undetected in the optical regime. A classic case is the pulsar PSR B1951+32, associated with the complex CTB 80 SNR. Previous ground based high speed 2-d optical studies have…
We consider the problem of the thermal X-ray radiation from the hot polar cap of radio pulsars showing evidence of \EB subpulse drift in radio band. In our recent Paper I, using the partially screened gap (PSG) model of inner acceleration…
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…
In the double pulsar system PSR J0737-3039A/B the strong wind produced by pulsar A distorts the magnetosphere of pulsar B. The influence of these distortions on the orbital-dependent emission properties of pulsar B can be used to determine…
We present further development of a pulsar emission model based on multiple streams diverging away from the magnetic dipole axis, and forming azimuthally-structured fan-shaped beams. It is shown that this geometry, successfully tested on…
The 511 keV electron-positron annihilation line, most recently characterized by the INTEGRAL/SPI experiment, is highly concentrated towards the Galactic centre. Its origin remains unknown despite decades of scrutiny. We propose a novel…
We investigate circular polarization in pulsar radio emission through simultaneous observations of PSR B1133+16 at two frequencies. In particular, we investigate the association of the handedness of circular polarization with the orthogonal…
We reproduce the broadband spectrum of Crab pulsar, from UV to very high energy gamma-rays - nearly ten decades in energy, within the framework of the cyclotron-self-Compton model. Emission is produced by two counter-streaming beams within…
The polarization position angles (PPA) of time samples with high linear polarization often show two parallel tracks across the pulsar profile that follow the rotating vector model (RVM). This feature support coherent curvature radiation…
We report the detection of the millisecond pulsar B1257+12 with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. In a 20 ks exposure we detected 25 photons from the pulsar, with energies between 0.4 and 2.0 keV, corresponding to the flux F_X=(4.4+/-…
We present a detailed study of the single radio pulses of PSR B0656+14. The emission can be characterized by two separate populations of pulses: bright pulses have a narrow ``spiky'' appearance in contrast to the underlying weaker broad…
