Modelling the Magnetic Field Configuration of Neutron Stars
Riccardo Ciolfi
The properties of the extremely strong magnetic fields of neutron stars affect in a unique way their evolution and the associated phenomenology. Due to the lack of constraints from…
Magnetic Field Instabilities in Neutron Stars
Riccardo Ciolfi
Magnetic fields represent a crucial aspect of the physics and astrophysics of neutron stars. Despite its great relevance, the internal magnetic field configuration of neutron stars…
Magnetic field amplification in hypermassive neutron stars via the magnetorotational instability
Daniel M. Siegel, Riccardo Ciolfi
Mergers of binary neutron stars likely lead to the formation of a hypermassive neutron star (HMNS), which is metastable and eventually collapses to a black hole. This merger scenar…
Magnetically driven winds from differentially rotating neutron stars and X-ray afterglows of short gamma-ray bursts
Daniel M. Siegel, Riccardo Ciolfi, Luciano Rezzolla
Besides being among the most promising sources of gravitational waves, merging neutron star binaries also represent a leading scenario to explain the phenomenology of short gamma-r…
