Semi-Analytical Model for the Evolution of Stellar Binaries in the Empty Loss Cone of Massive Black Holes
Samuel McGuire, Evgeni Grishin, Ilya Mandel +1
Binary star systems orbiting close to a supermassive black hole (SMBH) evolve through encounters with other stars, the SMBH's tidal forces, and the binary's internal dynamics, incl…
Vortex Dynamics in the Neutron Star Inner Crust
Xin Sheng, Bennett Link, Matthew E. Caplan +1
We study the superfluid vortex motion in the neutron star inner crust through direct three-dimensional simulations of the coupled dynamics of the vortex and the nuclear lattice. We…
Hyperactive Magnetar Eruptions: Giant Flares, Baryon Ejections, and Fast Radio Bursts
Ashley Bransgrove, Andrei M. Beloborodov, Yuri Levin
Young neutron stars born with magnetic fields G become hyperactive as the field inside the star evolves through ambipolar diffusion on a timescale s.…
Pulsar Rockets and Gaia Neutron Star Binaries
Vishal Baibhav, Andrei Gruzinov, Yuri Levin
We prove that the spin-aligned electromagnetic recoil force acting on a pulsar vanishes identically in Force-Free Electrodynamics. This contrasts with Hirai et al.'s recent argumen…
Giant Hall Waves Launched by Superconducting Phase Transition in Pulsars
Ashley Bransgrove, Yuri Levin, Andrei M. Beloborodov
The cores of pulsars are expected to become superconducting soon after birth. The transition to type-II superconductivity is associated with the bunching of magnetic field lines in…
In LIGO's Sight? Vigorous Coherent Gravitational Waves from Cooled Collapsar Disks
Ore Gottlieb, Amir Levinson, Yuri Levin
We present the first numerical study of gravitational waves (GWs) from collapsar disks, using state-of-the-art 3D general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations of collapsing…
Implications of burst oscillations from the slowly rotating accreting pulsar IGR 17480-2446 in the globular cluster Terzan 5
Y. Cavecchi, A. Patruno, B. Haskell +6
The recently-discovered accreting X-ray pulsar IGR J17480--2446 spins at a frequency of ~11 Hz. We show that Type I X-ray bursts from this source display oscillations at the same f…
