Josephson vortex Cherenkov radiation
  We predict the Josephson vortex Cherenkov radiation of an electromagnetic wave. We treat a long one--dimensional Josephson junction. We consider the wave length of the radiated electromagnetic wave to be much less than the Josephson penetration depth. We use for calculations the nonlocal Josephson electrodynamics. We find the expression for the radiated power and for the radiation friction force acting on a Josephson vortex and arising due to the Cherenkov radiation. We calculate the relation between the density of the bias current and the Josephson vortex velocity.
