Alfvén Wave Conversion to Low Frequency Fast Magnetosonic Waves in Magnetar Magnetospheres

Dominic Bernardi, Yajie Yuan, Alexander Y. Chen

Rapid shear motion of magnetar crust can launch Alfvén waves into the magnetosphere. The dissipation of the Alfvén waves has been theorized to power the X-ray bursts characteristic…

Alfven Wave Mode Conversion in Neutron Star Magnetospheres: A Semi-analytic Approach

Alexander Y. Chen, Yajie Yuan, Dominic Bernardi

We write down the force-free electrodynamics (FFE) equations in dipole coordinates, and solve for normal modes corresponding to Alfvénic perturbations in the magnetosphere of a neu…
