Gravitational wave background from magnetars
We investigate the gravitational wave background produced by magnetars. The statistical properties of these highly magnetized stars were derived by population synthesis methods and assumed to be also representative of extragalactic objects. The adopted ellipticity was calculated from relativistic models using equations of state and assumptions concerning the distribution of currents in the neut...
متن کاملDeformations of Accreting Neutron Star Crusts and Gravitational Wave Emission
Motivated by the remarkably narrow range of measured spin frequencies of ∼ 20 accreting (and weakly magnetic) neutron stars in the Galaxy, Bildsten (1998a) conjectured that their spin-up had been halted by the emission of gravitational waves. If so, then the brightest persistent X-ray source on the sky, Scorpius X-1, should be detected by gravitational wave interferometers within ten years. Bil...
متن کاملCoherent Emission from Magnetars
It is proposed that magnetospheric currents above the surfaces of magnetars radiate coherent emission in analogy to pulsars. Scaling the magnetospheric parameters suggests that the coherent emission from magnetars would emerge in the infra-red or optical. Pulsar radio emission and molecular masers are two examples of naturally occurring coherent emission. But there is no accepted analogue in th...
متن کاملRadio Emission from Magnetars
We discuss properties of the expected radio emission from Soft Gamma-ray Repeaters (SGRs) during their bursting activity in the framework of the model of Thompson, Lyutikov and Kulkarni (2002), in which the high energy emission is powered by the dissipation of super-strong magnetic fields in the magnetospheres through reconnection-type events. Drawing on analogies with Solar flares we predict t...
متن کاملGravitational-wave emission from rotating gravitational collapse in three dimensions.
We present the first three-dimensional (3D) calculations of the gravitational-wave emission in the collapse of uniformly rotating stars to black holes. The initial models are polytropes which are dynamically unstable and near the mass-shedding limit. The waveforms have been extracted using a gauge-invariant approach and reflect the properties of both the initial stellar models and of newly prod...
