The magnetorotational and Tayler instabilities in the pulsar magnetosphere
Vadim Urpin
The magnetospheres around neutron stars should be very particular because of their strong magnetic field and rapid rotation. A study of the pulsar magnetospheres is of a crucial im…
The accretion rate and minimum spin period of accreting pulsars
Alfio Bonanno, Vadim Urpin
We consider combined rotational, magnetic, and thermal evolution of the neutron star during the accretion phase in a binary system. A rapid accretion-driven decay of the magnetic f…
The neutron star in Cassiopeia A: equation of state, superfluidity, and Joule heating
A. Bonanno, M. Baldo, G. F. Burgio +1
The thermomagnetic evolution of the young neutron star in Cassiopea A is studied by considering fast neutrino emission processes. In particular, we consider neutron star models obt…
Force-free pulsar magnetosphere: instability and generation of MHD waves
V. Urpin
Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities can play an important role in the structure and dynamics of the pulsar magnetosphere. We consider the instabilitycaused by differential rota…
Pns dynamo: Theory and observations
Alfio Bonanno, Vadim Urpin
We briefly review the turbulent mean-field dynamo action in protoneutron stars that are subject to convective and neutron finger instabilities during the early evolutionary phase.…
The magnetohydrodynamic instability of current-carrying jets
Alfio Bonanno, Vadim Urpin
Magnetohydrodynamic instabilities can be responsible for the formation of structures with various scales in astrophysical jets. We consider the stability properties of jets contain…
