Relativistic models of magnetars: the twisted-torus magnetic field configuration
We find general relativistic solutions of equilibrium magnetic field configurations in magnetars, extending previous results of Colaiuda et al. (2008). Our method is based on the solution of the relativistic Grad-Shafranov equation, to which Maxwell’s equations can be reduced in some limit. We obtain equilibrium solutions with the toroidal magnetic field component confined into a finite region ...
متن کاملThe Shape of Pulsar Polar Caps
Rotation distorts the vacuum magnetic field of a pulsar from that of a simple dipole. The effect is particularly strong close to the light cylinder, but also affects the field close to the stellar surface. We find the shape and locus of the field lines which just close at the light cylinder. Their footpoints define the pulsar polar cap. We find this cap is asymmetric and distorted. We also find...
متن کاملRecursive constructions for large caps
We introduce several recursive constructions for caps in projective spaces. These generalize the known constructions in an essential way and lead to new large caps in many cases. Among our results we mention the construction of {(q + 1)(q2 + 3)}−caps in PG(5, q), of {q4 + 2q2}-caps in PG(6, q) and of q2(q2 + 1)2-caps in PG(9, q).
متن کاملBallooning Instability in Polar Caps of Accreting Neutron Stars
We assess the stability of Kruskal-Schwarzschild (magnetic Rayleigh-Taylor) type modes for accreted matter on the surface of a neutron star confined by a strong (& 10 G) magnetic field. Employing the energy principle to analyze the stability of short-wavelength ballooning modes, we find that line-tying to the neutron star crust stabilizes these modes until the overpressure at the top of the neu...
متن کاملLarge Caps in Small Spaces
We construct large caps in projective spaces of small dimension (up to 11) defined over fields of order at most 9. The constructions are both theoretical and computer-supported. Some more computergenerated 4-dimensional caps over larger fields are also mentioned.
