Sinking of a magnetically confined mountain on an accreting neutron star
K. Wette, M. Vigelius, A. Melatos
We perform ideal-magnetohydrodynamic axisymmetric simulations of magnetically confined mountains on an accreting neutron star, with masses less than ~0.12 solar masses. We consider…
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…
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…
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…
