AbstractThe nonlinear propagation of pulsar radiation in an electronpositron plasma is considered. Accounting for the pulsar radiation ponderomotive force, the relativistic mass variation, and the plasma magnetization, we obtain a pair of nonlinear equations which exhibit coupling of pulsar radiation with the background plasma slow motions in magnetized plasmas. The modulational/filamentation instability as well as the localization of pulsar radiation are investigated. We conclude that our investigation is relevant to the microstructures in the pulsar magnetosphere.

AbstractMagnetic islands (MIs), resulting from a magnetic field reconnection, are ubiquitous structures in magnetized plasmas. In tokamak plasmas, recent researches suggested that the interaction between an MI and ambient turbulence can be important for the nonlinear MI evolution, but a lack of detailed experimental observations and analyses has prevented further understanding. Here, we provide comprehensive observations such as turbulence spreading into an MI and turbulence enhancement at the reconnection site, elucidating intricate effects of plasma turbulence on the nonlinear MI evolution.
