Three-dimensional magneto-thermal evolution of off-centred dipole magnetic field configurations in neutron stars

Andrei P. Igoshev, Rainer Hollerbach, Toby Wood

Off-centred dipole configurations have been suggested to explain different phenomena in neutron stars, such as natal kicks, irregularities in polarisation of radio pulsars and prop…

Tidal dissipation due to the elliptical instability and turbulent viscosity in convection zones in rotating giant planets and stars

Nils B. de Vries, Adrian J. Barker, Rainer Hollerbach

Tidal dissipation in star-planet systems can occur through various mechanisms, among which is the elliptical instability. This acts on elliptically deformed equilibrium tidal flows…

Tidal dissipation in stratified and semi-convective regions of giant planets

Christina M. Pontin, Adrian J. Barker, Rainer Hollerbach

We study how stably stratified or semi-convective layers alter the tidal dissipation rates associated with the generation of internal waves in planetary interiors. We consider if t…

The interactions of the elliptical instability and convection

N. B. de Vries, A. J. Barker, R. Hollerbach

The elliptical instability is an instability of elliptical streamlines, which can be excited by large-scale tidal flows in rotating fluid bodies, and excites inertial waves if the…

Three-dimensional numerical simulations of ambipolar diffusion in NS cores in the one-fluid approximation: instability of poloidal magnetic field

Andrei P. Igoshev, Rainer Hollerbach

We numerically model evolution of magnetic fields inside a neutron star under the influence of ambipolar diffusion in the weak-coupling mode in the one-fluid MHD approximation. Our…

Evolution of neutron star magnetic fields

Andrei P. Igoshev, Sergei B. Popov, Rainer Hollerbach

Neutron stars are natural physical laboratories allowing us to study a plethora of phenomena in extreme conditions. In particular, these compact objects can have very strong magnet…
