Oscillation modes of relativistic slender tori
O. M. Blaes, P. Arras, P. C. Fragile
Accretion flows with pressure gradients permit the existence of standing waves which may be responsible for observed quasi-periodic oscillations (QPO's) in X-ray binaries. We prese…

Magnetars: Time Evolution, Superfluid Properties, and Mechanism of Magnetic Field Decay
P. Arras, A. Cumming, C. Thompson
We calculate the coupled thermal evolution and magnetic field decay in relativistic model neutron stars threaded by superstrong magnetic fields (B > 10^{15} G). Our main goal is to…
