Theory of quasi-spherical accretion in X-ray pulsars
A theoretical model for quasi-spherical subsonic accretion onto slowly rotating magnetized neutron stars is constructed. In this model the accreting matter subsonically settles down onto the rotating magnetosphere forming an extended quasi-static shell ...

Physics of radio emission in gamma-ray pulsars [PDF]
Propagation of radio emission in pulsar magnetosphere is reviewed. The effects of polarization transfer, induced scattering and reprocessing to high energies are analysed with an especial emphasis on the implications for the gamma-ray pulsars.

Constraining Electron‐Impact Ionization of O2 Through UV Aurora Observations at Ganymede
Abstract While photoionization rates of Ganymede's O2 ${\mathrm{O}}_{2}$ dominated atmosphere are well constrained, the contribution of electron‐impact ionization is rather uncertain. Previous quantitative estimates have relied on assumptions about densities and energy distributions of precipitating electrons, or on rare spacecraft measurements that ...

The magnetorotational and Tayler instabilities in the pulsar magnetosphere
The magnetospheres around neutron stars should be very particular because of their strong magnetic field and rapid rotation. A study of the pulsar magnetospheres is of a crucial importance since it is the key issue to understand how energy inflow to the ...

Effect of Field Line Torsion on the Polarization of ULF Waves
Abstract In this paper we suggest a simple modification of the dipole magnetic field which introduces field‐aligned currents and torsion to the field lines. The resulting field lines are not contained in the meridional planes and have resemblance to the geomagnetic field lines in the dawn and dusk flanks of the magnetosphere. We analyze polarization of

Global-scale magnetosphere convection driven by dayside magnetic reconnection
Plasma convection on a global scale is a fundamental feature of planetary magnetosphere. The Dungey cycle explains that steady-state convection within the closed part of the magnetosphere relies on magnetic reconnection in the nightside magnetospheric ...

Scattering and Diffraction in Magnetospheres of Fast Pulsars [PDF]
We apply a theory of wave propagation through a turbulent medium to the scattering of radio waves in pulsar magnetospheres. We find that under conditions of strong density modulation the effects of magnetospheric scintillations in diffractive and ...

Thermal Segregation and Reddening in Europa's Double Ridges
Abstract Europa's double ridges often display lower albedo and redder color than their surroundings. Their unique topography may cause sublimation‐driven darkening due to illumination and self‐heating—the process of thermal segregation. We apply an advanced 3D thermophysical model, including shadowing and self‐heating through mutual exchange of ...

We have taken the kHz QPOs as a tool to probe the correlation between the tracks of X-ray color-color diagram (CCD) and magnetosphere-disk positions for the atoll source 4U 1728-34, based on the assumptions that the upper kHz QPO is ascribed to the ...
