Precession of Isolated Neutron Stars
Bennett Link
I summarize the evidence for precession of isolated neutron stars and theoretical effort to understand the observations. I discuss factors that might set the precession period, des…
The Crustal Rigidity of a Neutron Star, and Implications for PSR 1828-11 and other Precession Candidates
Curt Cutler, Greg Ushomirsky, Bennett Link
We calculate the crustal rigidity parameter, b, of a neutron star (NS), and show that b is a factor 40 smaller than the standard estimate due to Baym & Pines (1971). For a NS with…
Confronting Neutron Star Cooling Theories with New Observations
S. Tsuruta, M. A. Teter, T. Takatsuka +2
With the successful launch of Chandra and XMM/Newton X-ray space missions combined with the lower-energy band observations, we are in the position where careful comparison of neutr…
MHD Shock Conditions for Accreting Plasma onto Kerr Black Holes - I
Masaaki Takahashi, Darrell Rilett, Keigo Fukumura +1
We extend the work by Appl and Camenzind (1988) for special relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) jets, to fully general relativistic studies of the standing shock formation for a…
