Theoretical Constraints on Neutron Star Superfluidity from Her X-1 Precession
Anton Biryukov, Amir Levinson, Pavel Abolmasov
Recent IXPE observations of Her X-1 reveal correlations between flux, polarization degree, and polarization angle with its 35-day superorbital cycle. These measurements have been i…

Rotational evolution of deformed magnetized neutron stars: implications for obliquity distribution and braking indices statistics
Anton Biryukov, Pavel Abolmasov, Amir Levinson
The rotational evolution of a strongly magnetized neutron star (NS), accreting or isolated, is driven by external torques of different nature. In addition to the torques, even the…

Tidal disruption of a magnetized star
Pavel Abolmasov, Omer Bromberg, Amir Levinson +1
Tidal disruptions of stars by supermassive black holes in galactic centers (TDEs) are now being actively studied both theoretically and observationally. They are observed throughou…
