Relativistic MHD modeling of magnetized neutron stars, pulsar winds, and their nebulae
L. Del Zanna, A. G. Pili, B. Olmi +2
Neutron stars are among the most fascinating astrophysical sources, being characterized by strong gravity, densities about the nuclear one or even above, and huge magnetic fields.…
General relativistic models for rotating magnetized neutron stars in conformally flat spacetime
A. G. Pili, N. Bucciantini, L. Del Zanna
The extraordinary energetic activity of magnetars is usually explained in terms of dissipation of a huge internal magnetic field of the order of G. How such a strong ma…
Quark deconfinement in the proto-magnetar model of Long Gamma-Ray Bursts
A. G. Pili, N. Bucciantini, A. Drago +2
We investigate the possible implications of quark deconfinement on the phenomenology of Long Gamma-Ray Bursts focusing, in particular, on the possibility to describe multiple promp…
Modeling the structure of magnetic fields in Neutron Stars: from the interior to the magnetosphere
N. Bucciantini, A. G. Pili, L. Del Zanna
The phenomenology of the emission of pulsars and magnetars depends dramatically on the structure and properties of their magnetic field. In particular it is believed that the outbu…
The role of currents distribution in general relativistic equilibria of magnetized neutron stars
N. Bucciantini, A. G. Pili, L. Del Zanna
Magnetic fields play a critical role in the phenomenology of neutron stars. There is virtually no observable aspect which is not governed by them. Despite this, only recently effor…
General relativistic neutron stars with twisted magnetosphere
A. G. Pili, N. Bucciantini, L. Del Zanna
Soft Gamma-Ray Repeaters and Anomalous X-Ray Pulsars are extreme manifestations of the most magnetized neutron stars: magnetars. The phenomenology of their emission and spectral pr…
Axisymmetric equilibrium models for magnetized neutron stars in General Relativity under the Conformally Flat Condition
A. G. Pili, N. Bucciantini, L. Del Zanna
Extremely magnetized neutron stars with magnetic fields as strong as G, or magnetars, have received considerable attention in the last decade due to their identif…
Solving the 3+1 GRMHD equations in the eXtended Conformally Flat Condition: the XNS code for magnetized neutron stars
N. Bucciantini, A. G. Pili, L. Del Zanna
High-energy phenomena in astrophysics involve quite generally a combination of relativistic motions and strong gravity. The simultaneous solution of Einstein equations and General…
General Relativistic Equilibrium Models of Magnetized Neutron Stars
A. G. Pili, N. Bucciantini, L. Del Zanna
Magnetic fields play a crucial role in many astrophysical scenarios and, in particular, are of paramount importance in the emission mechanism and evolution of Neutron Stars (NSs).…
