Theory of pulsar magnetospheres

TL;DR: In this article, a wide range of fundamental physical problems directly related to how pulsars function are discussed, some of which are independent of the specific pulsar mechanism and others relate directly to the physics of the pulsar and already shed some light on the properties of matter at high density and in strong magnetic fields.

The Earth as a radio source: Terrestrial kilometric radiation

TL;DR: In this article, the Earth appears to be a very intense planetary radio source, with a total power output comparable to the decametric radio emission from Jupiter, and the terrestrial kilometric radiation seems to originate from low altitudes in the auroral region.

Nonlinear standing Alfvén wave current system at Io: Theory

TL;DR: In this article, a nonlinear analytical model of the Alfven current tubes continuing the currents through Io (or rather its ionosphere) generated by the unipolar inductor effect due to Io's motion relative to the magnetospheric plasma was presented.

Auroral radio emissions at the outer planets: Observations and theories

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review both observational and theoretical aspects of the generation of auroral radio emissions at the outer planets, trying to organize the former in a coherent frame set by the latter.
