Coherent Emission Mechanisms in Astrophysical Plasmas
D. B. Melrose
TL;DR
This paper reviews three known mechanisms of coherent radio emission in astrophysical plasmas, including plasma emission, electron cyclotron maser emission, and pulsar radio emission, highlighting their physical processes and observational signatures.
Contribution
It provides a comprehensive review of the physical mechanisms behind coherent radio emissions in astrophysical sources, summarizing recent developments and observational evidence.
Findings
Plasma emission is a key process in solar radio bursts.
Electron cyclotron maser emission explains certain planetary and stellar radio emissions.
Pulsar radio emission involves complex plasma processes in neutron star magnetospheres.
Abstract
Three known examples of coherent emission in radio astronomical sources are reviewed: plasma emission, electron cyclotron maser emission (ECME) and pulsar radio emission.
