Formation, Possible Detection and Consequences of Highly Magnetized Compact Stars
Banibrata Mukhopadhyay, Mukul Bhattacharya
Over the past several years, there has been enormous interest in massive neutron stars and white dwarfs due to either their direct or indirect evidence. The recent detection of gra…
Highly magnetized white dwarfs: implications and current status
B. Mukhopadhyay, M. Bhattacharya, A. J. Hackett +3
Over the last decade or so, we have been developing the possible existence of highly magnetized white dwarfs with analytical stellar structure models. While the primary aim was to…
On explaining prompt emission from GRB central engines with photospheric emission model
Mukul Bhattacharya, Pawan Kumar
Although the observed spectra for gamma-ray burst (GRB) prompt emission is well constrained, the underlying radiation mechanism is still not very well understood. We explore photos…
Fast Radio Burst Dispersion Measure Distribution as a Probe of Helium Reionization
Mukul Bhattacharya, Pawan Kumar, Eric V. Linder
Fast radio burst (FRB) discoveries are occurring rapidly, with thousands expected from upcoming surveys. The dispersion measures (DM) observed for FRB include important information…
Explaining GRB prompt emission with sub-photospheric dissipation and Comptonization
Mukul Bhattacharya, Pawan Kumar
Even though the observed spectra for GRB prompt emission is well constrained, no single radiation mechanism can robustly explain its distinct non-thermal nature. Here we explore th…
Possible formation of lowly luminous highly magnetized white dwarfs by accretion leading to SGRs/AXPs
B. Mukhopadhyay, M. Bhattacharya, A. R. Rao +2
We sketch a possible evolutionary scenario by which a highly magnetized super-Chandrasekhar white dwarf could be formed by accretion on to a commonly observed magnetized white dwar…
