Gravitational Radiation from Accreting Millisecond Pulsars
Matthias Vigelius, Donald Payne, Andrew Melatos
It is widely assumed that the observed reduction of the magnetic field of millisecond pulsars can be connected to the accretion phase during which the pulsar is spun up by mass acc…
Burial of the polar magnetic field of an accreting neutron star. II. Hydromagnetic stability of axisymmetric equilibria
D. J. B. Payne, A. Melatos
The theory of polar magnetic burial in accreting neutron stars predicts that a mountain of accreted material accumulates at the magnetic poles of the star, and that, as the mountai…
Magnetic burial and the harmonic content of millisecond oscillations in thermonuclear X-ray bursts
D. J. B. Payne, A. Melatos
Matter accreting onto the magnetic poles of a neutron star spreads under gravity towards the magnetic equator, burying the polar magnetic field and compressing it into a narrow equ…
Frequency spectrum of gravitational radiation from global hydromagnetic oscillations of a magnetically confined mountain on an accreting neutron star
D. J. B. Payne, A. Melatos
Recent time-dependent, ideal-magnetohydrodynamic (ideal-MHD) simulations of polar magnetic burial in accreting neutron stars have demonstrated that stable, magnetically confined mo…
Near-Infrared, Kilosecond Variability of the Wisps and Jet in the Crab Pulsar Wind Nebula
A. Melatos, D. Scheltus, M. T. Whiting +6
We present a time-lapse sequence of 20 near-infrared (J- and K'-band) snapshots of the central 20x20 arcsec of the Crab pulsar wind nebula, taken at subarcsecond resolution with th…
Gravitational Radiation from an Accreting Millisecond Pulsar with a Magnetically Confined Mountain
A. Melatos, D. J. B. Payne
The amplitude of the gravitational radiation from an accreting neutron star undergoing polar magnetic burial is calculated. During accretion, the magnetic field of a neutron star i…
