Abstract
The effect of the motion of a strongly magnetized and cold plasma on the propagation and radiation of electromagnetic waves is considered. The radiation loss suffered by a finite dipole situated in a moving plasma is calculated. It is shown that when the dipole frequency exceeds the plasma frequency, the total radiation emitted by the dipole can be ehnanced by several orders of magnitude by a slowly moving plasma. The radiation output can also be enhanced when the dipole frequency is less than the plasma frequency, particularly at relativistic speeds, provided the scale length of the dipole is sufficiently large.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
