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 …
