Saturation of the Filamentation Instability and Dispersion Measure of Fast Radio Bursts

Saturation of the Filamentation Instability and Dispersion Measure of Fast Radio Bursts

Nonlinear effects are crucial for the propagation of fast radio bursts (FRBs) near the source. We study the filamentation of FRBs in the relativistic winds of magnetars, which are commonly invoked as the most natural FRB progenitors. As a result of filamentation, the particle number density and radi...
