Determining pitch-angle diffusion coefficients from test particle simulations
(IOP Publishing, 2016)The transport and acceleration of charged particles in turbulent media are topics of great interest in space physics and interstellar astrophysics. These processes are dominated by the scattering of particles off magnetic ... -
The nature of diffusive particle transport in turbulent magnetic fields
(North-West University (South Africa), Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)The transport of charged particles in turbulent plasma is a crucially important area of research in astrophysics, since it directly impacts our ability to interpret observations done with a major group of messenger ... -
Numerical modelling of the microphysical foundation of astrophysical particle acceleration
(North-West University (South Africa), Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)The acceleration and transport of solar energetic particles have been intensively studied ever since the discovery of relativistic particles originating from the Sun. Both processes are tightly connected to the dynamics ... -
Particle scattering off of right-handed dispersive waves
(IOP Publishing, 2017)Resonant scattering of fast particles off low frequency plasma waves is a major process determining transport characteristics of energetic particles in the heliosphere and contributing to their acceleration. Usually, only ... -
Resonant inverse Compton scattering spectra from highly magnetized neutron stars
(IOP Publishing, 2018)Hard, nonthermal, persistent pulsed X-ray emission extending between 10 and ~150 keV has been observed in nearly 10 magnetars. For inner-magnetospheric models of such emission, resonant inverse Compton scattering of soft ...
