Magnetized Relativistic Jets and Long-Duration GRBs from Magnetar Spindown during Core-Collapse Supernovae

N. Bucciantini, E. Quataert, B. D. Metzger +3

We use ideal axisymmetric relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations to calculate the spindown of a newly formed millisecond, B ~ 10^{15} G, magnetar and its interaction with the…
