On the universality of I-Love-Q relations in magnetized neutron stars
Brynmor Haskell, Riccardo Ciolfi, Francesco Pannarale +1
Recently, general relations among the quadrupole moment (Q), the moment of inertia (I), and the tidal deformability (Love number) of a neutron star were shown to exist. They are ne…
Twisted-torus configurations with large toroidal magnetic fields in relativistic stars
Riccardo Ciolfi, Luciano Rezzolla
Understanding the properties of the internal magnetic field of neutron stars remains a theoretical challenge. Over the last years, twisted-torus geometries have been considered bot…
Magnetorotational instability in relativistic hypermassive neutron stars
Daniel M. Siegel, Riccardo Ciolfi, Abraham I. Harte +1
A differentially rotating hypermassive neutron star (HMNS) is a metastable object which can be formed in the merger of neutron-star binaries. The eventual collapse of the HMNS into…
