Numerical calculations of neutron star mountains supported by crustal lattice pressure
T. J. Hutchins, D. I. Jones
Gravitational waves may set the spin frequencies of neutron stars in low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs). One mechanism for facilitating such emission is the formation of a mass asymme…
Crustal lattice pressure as a source of neutron star mountains
D. I. Jones, T. J. Hutchins
The spin frequencies of neutron stars in low-mass X-ray binaries may be limited by the emission of gravitational waves. A candidate for producing such steady emission is a mass asy…
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…
Three evolutionary paths for magnetar oscillations
K. Glampedakis, D. I. Jones
Quasi-periodic oscillations have been seen in the light curves following several magnetar giant flares. These oscillations are of great interest as they probably provide our first…
Are there any stable magnetic fields in barotropic stars?
S. K. Lander, D. I. Jones
We construct barotropic stellar equilibria, containing magnetic fields with both poloidal and toroidal field components. We extend earlier results by exploring the effect of differ…
Gravitational waves from neutron stars: Promises and challenges
N. Andersson, V. Ferrari, D. I. Jones +5
We discuss different ways that neutron stars can generate gravitational waves, describe recent improvements in modelling the relevant scenarios in the context of improving detector…
Strange stars as persistent sources of gravitational waves
N. Andersson, D. I. Jones, K. D. Kokkotas
We investigate the relevance of the gravitational-wave driven r-mode instability for strange stars. We find that the unstable r-modes affect strange stars in a way that is quite di…
Freely precessing neutron stars: Model and observations
D. I. Jones, N. Andersson
We present a model of a freely precessing neutron star which is then compared against pulsar observations. The aim is to draw conclusions regarding the structure of the star, and t…
