Relativistic coronal mass ejections from magnetars
Praveen Sharma, Maxim Barkov, Maxim Lyutikov
We study dynamics of relativistic Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs), from launching by shearing of foot-points (either slowly - the ``Solar flare'' paradigm, or suddenly - the ``star q…
Relativistic magnetic explosions
Maxim V. Barkov, Praveen Sharma, Konstantinos N. Gourgouliatos +1
Many explosive astrophysical events, like magnetars' bursts and flares, are magnetically driven. We consider dynamics of such magnetic explosions - relativistic expansion of highly…
Rotating neutron stars without light cylinders
Maxim Lyutikov, Praveen Sharma
We find a class of twisted and differentially rotating neutron star magnetospheres that do not have a light cylinder, generate no wind and thus do not spin-down. The magnetosphere…
Angled pulsar magnetospheres
Maxim Lyutikov, Praveen Sharma, Maxim Barkov
We consider magnetospheric structure of rotating neutron stars with internally twisted axisymmetric magnetic fields. The twist-induced and rotation-induced toroidal magnetic fields…
