Resistive relaxation of a magnetically confined mountain on an accreting neutron star

M. Vigelius, A. Melatos

Three-dimensional numerical magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations are performed to investigate how a magnetically confined mountain on an accreting neutron star relaxes resistively…

Improved estimate of the detectability of gravitational radiation from a magnetically confined mountain on an accreting neutron star

M. Vigelius, A. Melatos

We give an improved estimate of the detectability of gravitational waves from magnetically confined mountains on accreting neutron stars. The improved estimate includes the followi…

Continuous frequency spectrum of the global hydromagnetic oscillations of a magnetically confined mountain on an accreting neutron star

M. Vigelius, A. Melatos

We compute the continuous part of the ideal-magnetohydrodynamic (ideal-MHD) frequency spectrum of a polar mountain produced by magnetic burial on an accreting neutron star. Applyin…

Three-dimensional stability of magnetically confined mountains on accreting neutron stars

M. Vigelius, A. Melatos

We examine the hydromagnetic stability of magnetically confined mountains, which arise when material accumulates at the magnetic poles of an accreting neutron star. We extend a pre…

Three-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of asymmetric pulsar wind bow shocks

M. Vigelius, A. Melatos, S. Chatterjee +2

We present three-dimensional, nonrelativistic, hydrodynamic simulations of bow shocks in pulsar wind nebulae. The simulations are performed for a range of initial and boundary cond…

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…
