Magnetic fields in axisymmetric neutron stars
We derive general equations for axisymmetric Newtonian magnetohydrodynamics and use these as the basis of a code for calculating equilibrium configurations of rotating magnetized neutron stars in a stationary state. We investigate the field configurations that result from our formalism, which include purely poloidal, purely toroidal and mixed fields. For the mixedfield formalism, the toroidal c...
متن کاملNon-axisymmetric instability of axisymmetric magnetic fields
Context. The MHD instabilities can generate complex field topologies even if the initial field configuration is a very simple one. Aims. We consider the stability properties of magnetic configurations containing a toroidal and an axial field. In this paper, we concentrate mainly on the behavior of non-axisymmetric perturbations in axisymmetric magnetic configurations. Methods. The stability is ...
متن کاملBoundary-integral method for poloidal axisymmetric AC magnetic fields
This paper presents a boundary-integral equation (BIE) method for the calculation of poloidal axisymmetric magnetic fields applicable in a wide range of ac frequencies. The method is based on the vector potential formulation and it uses the Green’s functions of Laplace and Helmholtz equations for the exterior and interior of conductors, respectively. The work is particularly focused on a calcul...
متن کاملAxisymmetric magnetic fields in stars: relative strengths of poloidal and toroidal components
In this third paper in a series on stable magnetic equilibria in stars, I look at the stability of axisymmetric field configurations and in particular at the relative strengths of the toroidal and poloidal components. Both toroidal and poloidal fields are unstable on their own, and stability is achieved by adding the two together in some ratio. I use Tayler’s (1973) stability conditions for tor...
متن کاملThe stability of poloidal magnetic fields in rotating stars
The stability of large-scale magnetic fields in rotating stars is explored, using 3D numerical hydrodynamics to follow the evolution of an initial poloidal field. It is found that the field is subject to an instability, located initially on the magnetic equator, whereby the gas is displaced in a direction parallel to the magnetic axis. If the magnetic axis is parallel to the rotation axis, the ...
