Synchrotron-driven instabilities in relativistic plasmas of arbitrary opacity
IE Ochs - The Astrophysical Journal, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
Recent work has shown that synchrotron emission from relativistic plasmas leads the
electron distribution to form an anisotropic ring in momentum space, which can be unstable …

A parametric study of population inversions in relativistic plasmas through nonresonant interactions with Alfv\'en waves and their applications to Fast Radio Bursts
K Long, A Pe'er - arXiv preprint arXiv:2410.21022, 2024 - arxiv.org
Synchrotron maser emission is a leading candidate to explain the coherent emission from
Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs). This mechanism requires a population inversion in order to …

Radiative cooling induced coherent maser emission in relativistic plasmas
Relativistic plasmas in strong electromagnetic fields exhibit distinct properties compared to
classical plasmas. In astrophysical environments, such as neutron stars, white dwarfs …

The electron cyclotron maser instability in laser-ionized plasmas
We show that circularly polarized lasers create plasmas with long-lasting ring-shaped
weakly relativistic momentum distributions which, in the presence of an ambient magnetic …
