Modified Fermi Energy of Electrons in a Superhigh Magnetic Field

C. Zhu, Z. F. Gao, X. D. Li +3

In this paper, we investigate the electron Landau-level stability and its influence on the electron Fermi energy, , in the circumstance of magnetars, which are powere…

Constraining the Braking Indices of Magnetars

Z. F. Gao, X. D. Li, N. Wang +3

Due to the lack of long term pulsed emission in quiescence and the strong timing noise, it is impossible to directly measure the braking index of a magnetar. Based on the estim…

Landau level-superfluid modified factor and effective X/-ray coefficient of a magnetar

Z. F. Gao, Q. H. Peng, N. Wang +2

As soon as the energy of electrons near the Fermi surface are higher than , the threshold energy of inverse decay, the electron capture process will dominate. The resulting…

The surface and inner temperatures of magnetars

Z. F. Gao, N. Wang, Q. H. Peng

Assuming that the timescale of the magnetic field decay is approximately equal to that of the stellar cooling via neutrino emission, we obtain a one-to-one relationship between the…

Resonant cyclotron scattering in pulsar magnetospheres and its application to isolated neutron stars

Hao Tong, Ren Xin Xu, Qiu He Peng +1

Resonant cyclotron scattering (RCS) in pulsar magnetospheres is considered. The photon diffusion equation (Kompaneets equation) for RCS is derived. The photon system is modeled thr…
