Saturated magnetic field amplification at supernova shocks (2009)
Cosmic-ray streaming instabilities at supernova shocks are discussed in the quasilinear diffusion formalism which takes into account the feedback effect of wave growth on the cosmic ray streaming...

Large-Amplitude, Pair-Creating Oscillations in Pulsar and Black Hole Magnetospheres (2005)
Levinson, Amir, Melrose, Don, Judge, Alex, Luo, Qinghuan
A time-dependent model for pair creation in a pulsar magnetosphere is developed. It is argued that the parallel electric field that develops in a charge-starved region (a gap) of a pulsar...
Interpretation of parabolic arcs in pulsar secondary spectra (2004)
Walker, Mark, Melrose, Don, Stinebring, Dan, Zhang, Chengmin
Pulsar dynamic spectra sometimes show organised interference patterns; these patterns have been shown to have power spectra which often take the form of parabolic arcs, or sequences of inverted...
Conservation of both current and helicity in a quadrupolar model for solar flares (2004)
A model for a solar flare, involving magnetic reconnection transferring flux and current between current-carrying magnetic loops connecting two pairs of footpoints, is generalized to include...
Pulse emission mechanisms (2003)
High-energy and radio emission mechanisms for pulsars are reviewed. The source region for high energy emission remains uncertain. Two preferred radio emission mechanism are identified. Some...
Neutrino emission via the plasma process in a magnetized plasma (1999)
Kennett, Malcolm, Melrose, Don
Neutrino emission via the plasma process using the vertex formalism for QED in a strongly magnetized plasma is considered. A new vertex function is introduced to include the axial vector part of the...
