Magnetars and the Chiral Plasma Instabilities
We propose a possible new mechanism for a strong and stable magnetic field of compact stars due to an instability in the presence of a chirality imbalance of electrons—the chiral plasma instability. A large chirality imbalance of electrons inevitably occurs associated with the parity-violating weak process during core collapse of supernovae. We estimate the magnetic field due to this instabilit...
متن کاملIntegral and Magnetars
Thanks to INTEGRAL’s long exposures of the Galactic Plane, the two brightest Soft Gamma-Ray Repeaters, SGR 1806-20 and SGR 1900+14, have been monitored and studied in detail for the first time at hard-X/softgamma rays. SGR 1806-20, lying close to the Galactic Centre, and being very active in the past two years, has provided a wealth of new INTEGRAL results, which we will summarise here: more th...
متن کاملRates of neutrino conversion and decay in hot QED plasma
Using a real-time formalism of thermal field theory, we derive the reaction-rate formula for neutrino-conversion (ν → ν ) process and νν̄ ′ annihilation process, which take place in an ultrarelativistic QED plasma consisting of electrons, positrons, and photons. Also derived is the formula for the inverse processes to the above ones. On the basis of the hard-thermal-loop resummation scheme, we i...
متن کاملRotation-Powered Pulsars and Magnetars
I will review the latest developments in understanding the high-energy emission of rotation-powered pulsars and magnetically-powered Anomalous X-ray Pulsars (AXPs) and Soft Gamma-Ray Repeaters (SGRs). These fields have been extremely active in the last few years, both observationally and theoretically, driven partly by new X-ray data from Chandra, XMM-Newton and RXTE. At the same time, the Park...
متن کاملTiming Properties of Magnetars
We study the pulse morphologies and pulse amplitudes of thermally emitting neutron stars with ultrastrong magnetic fields. The beaming of the radiation emerging from a magnetar was recently shown to be predominantly non-radial, with a small pencil and a broad fan component. We show that the combination of this radiation pattern with the effects of strong lensing in the gravitational field of th...
