Instability of twisted magnetar magnetospheres
J. F. Mahlmann, T. Akgün, J. A. Pons +2
We present three-dimensional force-free electrodynamics simulations of magnetar magnetospheres that demonstrate the instability of certain degenerate, high energy equilibrium solut…
Crust-magnetosphere coupling during magnetar evolution and implications for the surface temperature
Taner Akgün, Pablo Cerdá-Durán, Juan Antonio Miralles +1
We study the coupling of the force-free magnetosphere to the long-term internal evolution of a magnetar. We allow the relation between the poloidal and toroidal stream functions -…
On the magnetic field evolution timescale in superconducting neutron star cores
Andrea Passamonti, Taner Akgün, José Pons +1
We revisit the various approximations employed to study the long-term evolution of the magnetic field in neutron star cores and discuss their limitations and possible improvements.…
Gravitational wave emission from a magnetically deformed non-barotropic neutron star
Alpha Mastrano, Andrew Melatos, Andreas Reisenegger +1
A strong candidate for a source of gravitational waves is a highly magnetised, rapidly rotating neutron star (magnetar) deformed by internal magnetic stresses. We calculate the mas…
