A rotation-driven pulsar radio emission mechanism
D. B. Melrose, M. Z. Rafat, A. Mastrano
We propose and discuss an alternative pulsar radio emission mechanism that relies on rotation-driven plasma oscillations, rather than on a beam-driven instability, and suggest that…
Pulsar radio emission mechanisms: a critique
D. B. Melrose, M. Z. Rafat, A. Mastrano
We consider critically the three most widely favored pulsar radio emission mechanisms: coherent curvature emission (CCE), beam-driven relativistic plasma emission (RPE) and anomalo…
Gravitational radiation from neutron stars deformed by crustal Hall drift
Arthur George Suvorov, Alpha Mastrano, Ulrich Geppert
A precondition for the radio emission of pulsars is the existence of strong, small-scale magnetic field structures (`magnetic spots') in the polar cap region. Their creation can pr…
Electromagnetic spin down of a transient accreting millisecond pulsar during quiescence
Andrew Melatos, Alpha Mastrano
The measured spin-down rates in quiescence of the transient accreting millisecond pulsars IGR J00291+5934, XTE J1751-305, SAX J1808.4-3658, and Swift J1756.9-2508 have been used to…
Spin paramagnetic deformation of a neutron star
A. G. Suvorov, A. Mastrano, A. Melatos
Quantum mechanical corrections to the hydromagnetic force balance equation, derived from the microscopic Schrödinger-Pauli theory of quantum plasmas, modify the equilibrium structu…
Interpreting the AXP 1E 2259+586 antiglitch as a change in internal magnetization
Alpha Mastrano, Arthur George Suvorov, Andrew Melatos
The sudden spin-down event ('anti-glitch') observed in AXP 1E 2259+586 on 2012 April 21 was arguably caused by a decay of its internal toroidal magnetic field component, which turn…
