Gravitational Waves and the Maximum Spin Frequency of Neutron Stars
Alessandro Patruno, Brynmor Haskell, Caroline D'Angelo
In this Letter we re-examine the idea that gravitational waves are required as a braking mechanism to explain the observed maximum spin-frequency of neutron stars. We show that for…
Accretion Discs Trapped Near Corotation
Caroline R. D'Angelo, Hendrik C. Spruit
We show that discs accreting onto the magnetosphere of a rotating star can end up in a 'trapped' state, in which the inner edge of the disc stays near the corotation radius, even a…
Long-Term evolution of Discs around Magnetic Stars
Caroline D'Angelo, Henk Spruit
We investigate the evolution of a thin viscous disc surrounding magnetic star, including the spindown of the star by the magnetic torques it exerts on the disc. The transition from…
