Magnetically Threaded Thin Disks in the Presence of the Quadrupole Magnetic Field
Sercan Çıkıntoğlu
Neutron stars might have multipole magnetic fields as implied by recent observations of pulsars. The presence of the quadrupole field might have an effect on the interaction betwee…

The First Day in the Life of a Magnetar: Evolution of the Inclination Angle, Magnetic Dipole Moment and Braking Index of Millisecond Magnetars During Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglows
Sinem Sasmaz Mus, Sercan Çıkıntoğlu, Ugur Aygun +2
The afterglow emission of some gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) show a shallow decay (plateau) phase implying continuous injection of energy. The source of this energy is very commonly attr…

Inclination angle and braking index evolution of pulsars with plasma-filled magnetosphere: application to high braking index of PSR J1640-4631
Kazım Yavuz Ekşi, Ceyhun Andaç, Sercan Çıkıntoğlu +3
The recently discovered rotationally powered pulsar PSR J1640-4631 is the first to have a braking index measured, with high enough precision, that is greater than three. An incline…
