Flame Propagation on the Surfaces of Rapidly Rotating Neutron Stars during Type I X-ray Bursts
Yuri Cavecchi, Anna L. Watts, Jonathan Braithwaite +1
We present the first vertically resolved hydrodynamic simulations of a laterally propagating, deflagrating flame in the thin helium ocean of a rotating accreting neutron star. We u…
A numerical magnetohydrodynamic scheme using the hydrostatic approximation
Jonathan Braithwaite, Yuri Cavecchi
In gravitationally stratified fluids, length scales are normally much greater in the horizontal direction than in the vertical one. When modelling these fluids it can be advantageo…
Weak magnetic fields in early-type stars: failed fossils
Jonathan Braithwaite, Matteo Cantiello
Weak magnetic fields have recently been detected in Vega and Sirius. Here, we explore the possibility that these fields are the remnants of some field inherited or created during o…
On the magnetic flux problem in star formation
Jonathan Braithwaite
Strong magnetic fields play a crucial role in the removal of angular momentum from collapsing clouds and protostellar discs and are necessary for the formation of disc winds as wel…
