The Role of the Core in Setting Massive Neutron-Star Radii
R. V. Lobato, J. E. Horvath, M. Malheiro
Recent observations by the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) indicate that the massive pulsar PSR J0740+6620 () has a radius comparable to those i…
Double White Dwarf Mergers as Progenitors of Long-Period Transients
Manuel Malheiro, Sarah V. Borges, Jaziel G. Coelho +6
There is an ongoing discussion in the literature on the nature of long-period transients (LPTs), radio-emitting sources with periods ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands of s…
Sudden discharge of young charged magnetars as a new model for FRBs
Marcio G. B. de Avellar, Pedro P. B. Beaklini, Sílvia P. Nunes +2
We propose a new model for Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) based on a sudden discharge of a charged young magnetar, caused by the short falling timescale of oppositely charged particles o…
On the nature of some SGRs and AXPs as rotation-powered neutron stars
Jaziel G. Coelho, D. L. Cáceres, R. C. R. de Lima +3
We investigate the possibility that some SGRs/AXPs could be canonical rotation-powered pulsars using realistic NS structure parameters instead of fiducial values. We show that real…
