Are pulsars born with a hidden magnetic field?

Alejandro Torres-Forné, Pablo Cerdá-Durán, José A. Pons +1

The observation of several neutron stars in the center of supernova remnants and with significantly lower values of the dipolar magnetic field than the average radio-pulsar populat…

Unifying the observational diversity of isolated neutron stars via magneto-thermal evolution models

Daniele Viganò, Nanda Rea, Jose A. Pons +3

Observations of magnetars and some of the high magnetic field pulsars have shown that their thermal luminosity is systematically higher than that of classical radio-pulsars, thus c…

A highly resistive layer within the crust of X-ray pulsars limits their spin periods

Jose A. Pons, Daniele Viganò, Nanda Rea

The lack of X-ray pulsars with spin periods > 12 s raises the question of where the population of evolved high magnetic field neutron stars has gone. Unlike canonical radio pulsars…

Pulsar timing irregularities and the imprint of magnetic field evolution

Jose A. Pons, Daniele Vigano, Ulrich Geppert

(Abridged) The rotational evolution of isolated neutron stars is dominated by the magnetic field anchored to the solid crust of the star. Assuming that the core field evolves on mu…

CCOs and the hidden magnetic field scenario

Daniele Viganò, Jose A. Pons

CCOs are X-ray sources lying close the center of supernova remnants, with inferred values of the surface magnetic fields significantly lower (less than about 1e11 G) than those of…

A new code for the Hall-driven magnetic evolution of neutron stars

Daniele Viganò, Jose A. Pons, Juan A. Miralles

Over the past decade, the numerical modeling of the magnetic field evolution in astrophysical scenarios has become an increasingly important field. In the crystallized crust of neu…

Confirmation of the occurrence of the Hall instability in the non-linear regime

Jose A. Pons, Ulrich Geppert

The non-linear Hall term present in the induction equation in the electron-magneto-hydrodynamics limit is responsible for the Hall drift of the magnetic field and, in some cases, f…
