X-ray Timing of Neutron Stars, Astrophysical Probes of Extreme Physics
Z. Arzoumanian, S. Bogdanov, J. Cordes +11
The characteristic physical timescales near stellar-mass compact objects are measured in milliseconds. These timescales -- the free-fall time, the fastest stable orbital period, an…
A strong correlation in radio pulsars with implications for torque variations
J. O. Urama, B. Link, J. M. Weisberg
We present an analysis of the spin-down parameters for 131 radio pulsars for which has been well determined. These pulsars have characteristic ages ranging from $10^{3} -…
Frictional Heating and Neutron Star Thermal Evolution
K. Van Riper, B. Link, R. Epstein
Differential rotation between the neutron star crust and a more rapidly rotating interior superfluid leads to frictional heating that affects the star's long-term thermal evolution…
TeV mu Neutrinos from Young Neutron Stars
B. Link, Fiorella Burgio
Neutron stars are efficient accelerators for bringing charges up to relativistic energies. We show that if positive ions are accelerated to ~1 PeV near the surface of a young neutr…
Thermally-driven Neutron Star Glitches
B. Link, R. I. Epstein
We examine the thermal and dynamical response of a neutron star to a sudden perturbation of the inner crust temperature. During the star's evolution, starquakes and other processes…
Production of high-energy μneutrinos from young neutron stars
G. F. Burgio, B. Link
Young, rapidly rotating neutron stars could accelerate protons to energies of PeV close to the stellar surface, which scatter with x-rays from the stellar surface through…
