Non-Axisymmetric Precession of Magnetars and Fast Radio Bursts
Ira Wasserman, James M. Cordes, Shami Chatterjee +1
The repeating FRBs 180916.J0158 and 121102 are visible during periodically-occuring windows in time. We consider the constraints on internal magnetic fields and geometry if the cyc…
Poloidal Magnetic Fields In Superconducting Neutron Stars
K. T. Henriksson, I. Wasserman
We develop the formalism for computing the magnetic field within an axisymmetric neutron star with a strong Type II superconductor core surrounded by a normal conductor. The formal…
A Brane World Solution to the Cosmological Constant Problem
S. -H. Henry Tye, Ira Wasserman
We consider a model with two parallel (positive tension) 3-branes separated by a distance in 5-dimensional spacetime. If the interbrane space is anti-deSitter, or is not precis…
Resonant Cyclotron Radiation Transfer Model Fits to Spectra from Gamma-Ray Burst GRB870303
P. E. Freeman, D. Q. Lamb, J. C. L. Wang +5
We demonstrate that models of resonant cyclotron radiation transfer in a strong field (i.e. cyclotron scattering) can account for spectral lines seen at two epochs, denoted S1 and…
The Emergence of a Black Hole in Supernova Explosions
Luca Zampieri, Monica Colpi, Stuart L. Shapiro +1
We present results from a fully relativistic investigation of matter fallback in a supernova, assuming that the central compact star is a black hole (BH). Our goal is to answer the…
