The Axial Anomaly and Large Pulsar Kicks
James Charbonneau
Topological vector currents have gained interest recently with their possible verification at RHIC through the Charge Separation Effect and the Chiral Magnetic Effect. Much work ha…

Large Pulsar Kicks from Topological Currents
James Charbonneau, Kelsey Hoffman, Jeremy Heyl
We show that kicks generated by topological currents may be responsible for the large velocities seen in a number of pulsars. The majority of the kick builds up within the first se…

Observational Consequences of Topological Currents in Neutron Stars
James Charbonneau
We argue that topological vector currents may be the source of many phenomena in neutron stars: kicks, jets, toroidal fields and magnetic helicity. Topological vector currents exis…
