Magnetar birth: rotation rates and gravitational-wave emission
S. K. Lander, D. I. Jones
Understanding the evolution of the angle between a magnetar's rotation and magnetic axes sheds light on the star's birth properties. This evolution is coupled with that of the…

Neutron-star spindown and magnetic inclination-angle evolution
S. K. Lander, D. I. Jones
A rotating fluid star, endowed with a magnetic field, can undergo a form of precessional motion: a sum of rigid-body free precession and a non-rigid response. On secular timescales…
