A propelling neutron star in the enigmatic Be-star γ Cassiopeia
γ Cassiopeia (γ Cas), is known to be a binary system consisting of a Be-type star and a low-mass (M ∼ 1M ) companion of unknown nature orbiting in the Be-disc plane. Here, we apply the quasi-spherical accretion theory on to a compact magnetized star and show that if the low-mass companion of γ Cas is a fast spinning neutron star, the key observational signatures of γ Cas are remarkably well rep...
متن کاملRotating neutron star models with magnetic field
We present the first numerical solutions of the coupled Einstein-Maxwell equations describing rapidly rotating neutron stars endowed with a magnetic field. These solutions are fully relativistic and self-consistent, all the effects of the electromagnetic field on the star’s equilibrium (Lorentz force, spacetime curvature generated by the electromagnetic stress-energy) being taken into account. ...
متن کاملNonlinear hydrodynamical evolution of rotating relativistic stars: Numerical methods and code tests
We present numerical hydrodynamical evolutions of rapidly rotating relativistic stars, using an axisymmetric, nonlinear relativistic hydrodynamics code. We use four different high-resolution shock-capturing (HRSC) finitedifference schemes (based on approximate Riemann solvers) and compare their accuracy in preserving uniformly rotating stationary initial configurations in long-term evolutions. ...
متن کاملNonaxisymmetric instabilities of neutron star with toroidal magnetic fields
Aims. Super magnetized neutron stars of ∼1015 G, magnetars, and magnetized protoneutron stars born after the magnetically-driven supernovae are likely to have very strong toroidal magnetic fields. Methods. Long-term, three-dimensional general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations were performed to prepare isentropic neutron stars with toroidal magnetic fields in equilibrium as initial co...
متن کاملCollapse and black hole formation in magnetized, differentially rotating neutron stars
The capacity to model magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) flows in dynamical, strongly curved spacetimes significantly extends the reach of numerical relativity in addressing many problems at the forefront of theoretical astrophysics. We have developed and tested an evolution code for the coupled EinsteinMaxwell-MHD equations which combines a BSSN solver with a high resolution shock capturing scheme. A...
