Speaker

Gregory Vereshchagin

Description

We will discuss pair creation by electrically neutral compact astrophysical objects, having sufficiently sharp positively charged surface boundary to create an electrosphere with overcritical electric field. Two types of energy sources will be considered: heat and radial electromagnetic perturbation. Implications for astrophysical observations will be outlined.
