Spindown of Pulsars Interacting with Companion Winds: Impact of Magnetospheric Compression
Yici Zhong, Anatoly Spitkovsky, Jens F. Mahlmann +1
The presence of a companion wind in neutron star binary systems can form a contact discontinuity well within the pulsar's light cylinder, effectively creating a waveguide that conf…

Three-dimensional dynamics of strongly twisted magnetar magnetospheres: Kinking flux tubes and global eruptions
J. F. Mahlmann, A. A. Philippov, V. Mewes +3
The origins of the various outbursts of hard X-rays from magnetars (highly magnetized neutron stars) are still unknown. We identify instabilities in relativistic magnetospheres tha…
