The runaway instability in general relativistic accretion disks
O. Korobkin, E. Abdikamalov, N. Stergioulas +4
When an accretion disk falls prey to the runaway instability, a large portion of its mass is devoured by the black hole within a few dynamical times. Despite decades of effort, it…
LOFT: the Large Observatory For X-ray Timing
M. Feroci, J. W. den Herder, E. Bozzo +245
The LOFT mission concept is one of four candidates selected by ESA for the M3 launch opportunity as Medium Size missions of the Cosmic Vision programme. The launch window is curren…
Magneto-elastic oscillations of neutron stars: exploring different magnetic field configurations
Michael Gabler, Pablo Cerdá-Durán, José A. Font +2
We study magneto-elastic oscillations of highly magnetized neutron stars (magnetars) which have been proposed as an explanation for the quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) appearing…
