Magnetar giant flares and afterglows as relativistic magnetized explosions
We propose that giant flares on Soft Gamma-Ray Repeaters produce relativistic, strongly magnetized, weakly baryon loaded magnetic clouds, somewhat analogous to solar coronal mass ejection (CME) events. Flares are driven by unwinding of internal non-potential magnetic fields which leads to slow build-up of magnetic energy outside of the neutron star. For large magnetospheric currents, correspond...
متن کاملUltrahigh Energy Activity in Giant Magnetar Outbursts
The recent superflare of 27 December 2004 from the magnetar SGR 1806-20 was the brightest extrasolar flash ever recorded in the modern era. The chances for seeing exotic ultrahigh energy (UHE) radiation neutrons, neutrinos, gamma rays and charged cosmic rays from it are far better from an energetic point of view than from cosmological gamma ray bursts (GRBs). The chances for detecting the vario...
متن کاملMaximum gravitational-wave energy emissible in magnetar flares
Recent searches of gravitational-wave data raise the question of what maximum gravitational-wave energies could be emitted during gamma-ray flares of highly magnetized neutron stars (magnetars). The highest energies ( 10 erg) predicted so far come from a model [K. Ioka, Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc. 327, 639 (2001), http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2001MNRAS.327..639I] in which the internal magnetic f...
متن کاملMagnetic Flares on Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars
We investigate the consequences of magnetic flares on the surface of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) and similar stars. In contrast to the solar wind, in the winds of AGB stars the gas cooling time is much shorter than the outflow time. As a result, we predict that energetic flaring should enhance, rather than inhibit, dust formation around AGB stars. Analysis of an archival ROSAT X-ray spectrum ...
متن کاملHigh frequency oscillations during magnetar flares
The recent discovery of high frequency oscillations during giant flares from the Soft Gamma Repeaters SGR 1806-20 and SGR 1900+14 may be the first direct detection of vibrations in a neutron star crust. If this interpretation is correct it offers a novel means of testing the neutron star equation of state, crustal breaking strain, and magnetic field configuration. We review the observational da...
