Magnetic field decay , or just period – dependent beaming ?
Several recent papers conclude that radio-pulsar magnetic fields decay on a time-scale of 10Myr, apparently contradicting earlier results. We have implemented the methods of these papers in our code and show that this preference for rapid field decay is caused by the assumption that the beaming fraction does not depend on the period. When we do include this dependence, we find that the observed...
متن کاملPeriod Clustering of the Anomalous X-Ray Pulsars and Magnetic Field Decay in Magnetars.
We confront theoretical models for the rotational, magnetic, and thermal evolution of an ultramagnetized neutron star, or magnetar, with available data on the anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs). We argue that, if the AXPs are interpreted as magnetars, their clustering of spin periods between 6 and 12 s (observed at present in this class of objects), their period derivatives, their thermal X-ray lum...
متن کاملMagnetic Field Decay and Period Evolution of the Source Rx J0720.4-3125
We studied possible evolution of rotational period and magnetic field of the X-ray source RX J0720.4-3125 assuming this source to be an isolated neutron star accreting from interstellar medium. Magnetic field of the source is estimated to be 10 6 − 10 9 Gs (most probably ≈ 2 · 10 8 Gs), and it is difficult to explain the observable rotational period 8.38 s without invoking hypothesis of the mag...
متن کاملNon-Relativistic Limit of Neutron Beta-Decay Cross-Section in the Presence of Strong Magnetic Field
One of the most important reactions of the URCA that lead to the cooling of a neutron star, is neutron beta-decay ( ). In this research, the energy spectra and wave functions of massive fermions taking into account the Anomalous Magnetic Moment (AMM) in the presence of a strong changed magnetic field are calculated. For this purpose, the Dirac-Pauli equation for charged and neutral fermions is ...
متن کاملTunneling decay in a magnetic field
We provide a semiclassical theory of tunneling decay in a magnetic field and a three-dimensional potential of a general form. Because of broken time-reversal symmetry, the standard WKB technique has to be modified. The decay rate is found from the analysis of the Hamilton trajectories of the particle in complex phase space and time. In a magnetic field, the tunneling particle comes from beneath...
