摘要： The pulsar radio emission mechanism remains an enigma since over half a century. A radiation process requires not only to explain the coherency and high degree of polarization of the emission, but also nanobursts, characteristic frequency of emission, and problems like death line, which can#2;not be well understood in the context of long standing cap models and recent models of magnetic reconnection. This article proposes a dynamo process in pulsar magnetosphere. Through centrifu#2;gal force the last closed magnetic field lines can be amplified to a critical value of, BT 104T, which triggers magnetic reconnection responsible for the instability required in coherent curvature radiation, so that a number of problems can be interpreted. The time scale of magnetic field pile up and relaxation can be short or long for young or old pulsars respectively, which naturally account for the diverse intermittencies exhibited in pulsars and FRBs.

摘要： Stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) is a promising tool to probe the very early universe where the standard model of particle physics and cosmology are connected closely. As a possible component of SGWB, gravitational waves (GW) from bubble collisions during the first order cosmological phase transitions deserve comprehensive analyses. In 2017, Ryusuke Jinno and Masahiro Takimoto proposed an elegant analysis approach to derive the analytical expressions of energy spectra of GW from bubble collisions in Minkowski spacetime avoiding large-scale numerical simulations for the first time[26]. However, they neglect the expansion of the universe and regard the duration of phase transitions as infinity in their derivation which could deviate their estimations from true values. For these two reasons, we give a new expression of GW spectra by adopting their method, switching spacetime background to FLRW spacetime, and considering a finite duration of phase transitions. By denoting $\sigma$ as the fraction of the speed of phase transitions to the expansion speed of the universe, we find when $\sigma$ is around $\mathcal{O}(10)$, the maxima of estimated GW energy spectra drop by around 1 order of magnitude than the results given by their previous work. Even when $\sigma=100$, the maximum of GW energy spectrum is only $65\%$ of their previous estimation. Such a significant decrease may bring about new challenges for the detectability of GW from bubble collisions. Luckily, by comparing new spectra with PLI (\textit{power-law integrated}) sensitivity curves of GW detectors, we find that the detection prospect for GW from bubble collisions is still promising for DECIGO, BBO, LISA, and TianQin in the foreseeable future.
