Dense magnetized plasma associated with a fast radio burst

Neutrino-electron scattering in a dense magnetized plasma.

We derive general expressions for the cross section of neutrino scattering on electrons in dense, hot stellar matter, in the presence of strong magnetic fields. Numerical calculations of the scattering cross sections at various densities, temperatures and magnetic fields, are performed. Strong, quantizing magnetic fields modify significantly the angular and energy dependence of the scattering c...

Correlated Fast Ion Stopping in Magnetized Classical Plasma

The results of a theoretical investigation on the stopping power of ion pair in a magnetized electron plasma are presented, with particular emphasis on the two-ion correlation effects. The analysis is based on the assumptions that the magnetic field is classically strong (λB ≪ ac ≪ λD, where λB , ac and λD are respectively the electron de Broglie wavelength, Larmor radius and Debye length) and ...

A Burst of Electromagnetic Radiation from a Collapsing Magnetized Star

The pattern of variations in the intensity of magnetodipole losses is studied with the relativistic effect of magnetic-field dissipation during collapse into a black hole taken into account. A burst-type solution can be obtained both for a direct collapse and for the formation of a rapidly-rotating, self-gravitating object — a spinar — using a simple model. Analytical dependences on radius desc...
