We evaluate the Lienard-Wiechert field of a rotating superluminal point source numerically and show that this radiation field has the following intrinsic characteristics. (i) It is sharply focused along a narrow, rigidly rotating spiral-shaped beam that embodies the cusp of the envelope of the emitted wave fronts. (ii) It consists of either one or three concurrent polarization modes (depending on the relative positions of the observer and the cusp) that constitute contributions to the field from differing retarded times. (iii) Two of the modes are comparable in strength at both edges of the signal and dominate over the third everywhere except in the middle of the pulse. (iv) The position angle of the total field swings across the beam by as much as 180$^circ$. (v) The position angles of its two dominant modes remain approximately orthogonal throughout their excursion across the beam. Given the fundamental nature of the Lienard-Wiechert field, the coincidence of these characteristics with those of the radio emission that is received from pulsars is striking.
In an earlier paper, we introduced a model for pulsars in which non-radial oscillations of high spherical degree (el) aligned to the magnetic axis of a spinning neutron star were able to reproduce subpulses like those observed in single-pulse measure
Contrary to mechanical waves, the two-slit interference experiment of single photons shows that the behavior of classical electromagnetic waves corresponds to the quantum mechanical one of single photons, which is also different from the quantum-fiel
Strong-field gravitational plane waves are often represented in either the Rosen or Brinkmann forms. These forms are related by a coordinate transformation, so they should describe essentially the same physics, but the two forms treat polarization st
We present the results of 5 GHz VLBI observations of a compact steep spectrum source 3C 138. The data are consistent with the western end being the location of the central activity. The observed offset between different frequencies in the central reg
We present an analysis of transfer of quantum information between the collective spin degrees of freedom of a large ensemble of two-level systems and a single central qubit. The coupling between the central qubit and the individual ensemble members m
