Alfvén QPOs in magnetars in the anelastic approximation
We perform two-dimensional simulations of Alfvén oscillations in magnetars, modeled as relativistic stars with a dipolar magnetic field. We use the anelastic approximation to general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics, which allows for an effective suppression of fluid modes and an accurate description of Alfvén waves. In addition, we compute Alfvén oscillation frequencies along individual magne...
متن کاملAlfvén QPOs in Magnetars
We investigate torsional Alfvén oscillations of relativistic stars with a global dipole magnetic field, via two-dimensional numerical simulations. We find that a) there exist two families of quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) with harmonics at integer multiples of the fundamental frequency, b) the lower-frequency QPO is related to the region of closed field lines, near the equator, while the hi...
متن کاملPropagation and Transmission of Alfvén Waves in Rotating Magnetars
We study the propagation and transmission of Alfvén waves in the context of cylindrical geometry. This approximates the polar cap region of aligned pulsar with strong magnetic fields. Non-propagating region appears in the presence of rotation. The displacement current further prevents the low frequency modes from propagating near the stellar surface. The transmission rates to the exterior throu...
متن کاملPenetrative Convection within the Anelastic Approximation
We present a method for studying penetrative convection within the anelastic approximation. This method is then applied to two-dimensional numerical simulations of a convective region bounded below by a stable (radiative) region. Descending plumes penetrate into the stable layer, exciting gravity waves with a spectrum of frequencies limited by the ‘‘Brunt-Väisäla’’ frequency. The depth of penet...
