Effects of Gravitational Lensing in the Double Pulsar System J0737-3039
Dong Lai, Roman R. Rafikov
We investigate the effects of gravitational lensing in the binary pulsar system J0737-3039. Current measurement of the orbital inclination allows the millisecond pulsar (A) to pass…
Radiation from condensed surface of magnetic neutron stars
Matthew van Adelsberg, Dong Lai, Alexander Y. Potekhin +1
Recent observations show that the thermal X-ray spectra of many isolated neutron stars are featureless and in some cases (e.g., RX J1856.5-3754) well fit by a blackbody. Such a per…
Electromagnetic polarization in partially ionized plasmas with strong magnetic fields and neutron star atmosphere models
A. Y. Potekhin, Dong Lai, G. Chabrier +1
Polarizability tensor of a strongly magnetized plasma and the polarization vectors and opacities of normal electromagnetic waves are studied for the conditions typical of neutron s…
Spectral Features in the Thermal Emission from Isolated Neutron Stars: Dependence on Magnetic Field Strengths
Wynn C. G. Ho, Dong Lai
We study several effects that influence the strength of the proton cyclotron and atomic features in the thermal spectra of magnetic neutron stars. We show that it is possible for v…
