Hot Electromagnetic Outflows. III. Displaced Fireball in a Strong Magnetic Field
Christopher Thompson, Ramandeep Gill
The evolution of a dilute electron-positron fireball is calculated in the regime of strong magnetization and very high compactness (l ~10^3-10^8). Heating is applied at a low effec…

Statistical ages and the cooling rate of X-ray dim isolated neutron stars
Ramandeep Gill, Jeremy S. Heyl
The cooling theory of neutron stars is corroborated by its comparison with observations of thermally emitting isolated neutron stars and accreting neutron stars in binary systems.…

Magnetic Reconnection Instabilities in Soft-Gamma Repeaters
Jeremy S. Heyl, Ramandeep Gill
We examine an external trigger mechanism that gives rise to the intense soft gamma-ray repeater (SGR) giant flares. Out of the three giant flares, two showcased the existence of a…
