Structure, Deformations and Gravitational Wave Emission of Magnetars
L. Gualtieri, R. Ciolfi, V. Ferrari
Neutron stars can have, in some phases of their life, extremely strong magnetic fields, up to 10^15-10^16 G. These objects, named magnetars, could be powerful sources of gravitatio…
Stochastic background of gravitational waves emitted by magnetars
Stefania Marassi, Riccardo Ciolfi, Raffaella Schneider +2
Two classes of high energy sources in our galaxy are believed to host magnetars, neutron stars whose emission results from the dissipation of their magnetic field. The extremely hi…
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…
