Constraining the emission geometry and mass of the white dwarf pulsar AR Sco using the rotating vector model
(IOP Publishing, 2019)We apply the standard radio pulsar rotating vector model to the white dwarf (WD) pulsar AR Sco's optical polarization position angle swings folded at the WD's spin period as obtained by Buckley et al. Owing to the long ... -
Exploring the acceleration mechanisms for particle injection and power-law formation during transrelativistic magnetic reconnection
(IOP Publishing, 2020)Magnetic reconnection in the relativistic and transrelativistic regimes is able to accelerate particles to hard power-law energy spectra f ∝ γ −p (approaching p = 1). The underlying acceleration mechanism that determines ... -
Fast radio burst trains from magnetar oscillations
(IOP Publishing, 2020)Quasi-periodic oscillations inferred during rare magnetar giant flare tails were initially interpreted as torsional oscillations of the neutron star (NS) crust, and have been more recently described as global core+crust ... -
New hard-TeV extreme blazars detected with the MAGIC telescopes
(IOP, 2020)Extreme high-frequency-peaked BL Lac objects (EHBLs) are blazars that exhibit extremely energetic synchrotron emission. They also feature nonthermal gamma-ray emission whose peak lies in the very high-energy (VHE, E > 100 ...
