    • Energy loss in intergalactic pair beams: particle-in-cell simulation 

      Kempf, A.; Kilian, P.; Spanier, F. (EDP Sciences, 2016)
      Aims. The change in the distribution function of electron-positron pair beams determines whether GeV photons can be produced as secondary radiation from TeV photons. We will discuss the instabilities driven by pair ...

    • Particle scattering off of right-handed dispersive waves 

      Schreiner, C.; Spanier, F.; Kilian, P. (IOP Publishing, 2017)
      Resonant scattering of fast particles off low frequency plasma waves is a major process determining transport characteristics of energetic particles in the heliosphere and contributing to their acceleration. Usually, only ...

    • Probing acceleration and turbulence at relativistic shocks in blazar jets 

      Baring, Matthew G.; Böttcher, Markus; Summerlin, Errol J. (Oxford Univ Press, 2017)
      Diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) at relativistic shocks is widely thought to be an important acceleration mechanism in various astrophysical jet sources, including radio-loud active galactic nuclei such as blazars. Such ...

    • Repeating fast radio bursts from magnetars with low magnetospheric twist 

      Wadiasingh, Zorawar; Timokhin, Andrey (IOP Publishing, 2019)
      We analyze the statistics of pulse arrival times in fast radio burst (FRB) 121102 and demonstrate that they are remarkably similar to statistics of magnetar high-energy short bursts. Motivated by this correspondence, we ...
