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…
