Spin evolution of a proto-neutron star

G. Camelio, L. Gualtieri, J. A. Pons +1

We study the evolution of the rotation rate of a proto-neutron star, born in a core-collapse supernova, in the first seconds of its life. During this phase, the star evolution can…

Tidal interaction in compact binaries: a post-Newtonian affine framework

V. Ferrari, L. Gualtieri, A. Maselli

We develop a semi-analytical approach, based on the post-Newtonian expansion and on the affine approximation, to model the tidal deformation of neutron stars in the coalescence of…

Structure and deformations of strongly magnetized neutron stars with twisted torus configurations

R. Ciolfi, V. Ferrari, L. Gualtieri

We construct general relativistic models of stationary, strongly magnetized neutron stars. The magnetic field configuration, obtained by solving the relativistic Grad-Shafranov equ…

Neutron star tidal disruption in mixed binaries: the imprint of the equation of state

V. Ferrari, L. Gualtieri, F. Pannarale

We study the tidal disruption of neutron stars in black hole-neutron star coalescing binaries. We calculate the critical orbital separation at which the star is disrupted by the bl…

Relativistic models of magnetars: the twisted-torus magnetic field configuration

R. Ciolfi, V. Ferrari, L. Gualtieri +1

We find general relativistic solutions of equilibrium magnetic field configurations in magnetars, extending previous results of Colaiuda et al. (2008). Our method is based on the s…

A Semi-relativistic Model for Tidal Interactions in BH-NS Coalescing Binaries

V. Ferrari, L. Gualtieri, F. Pannarale

We study the tidal effects of a Kerr black hole on a neutron star in black hole-neutron star binary systems using a semi-analytical approach which describes the neutron star as a d…
