Different Magnetic Field Distributions in Deformed Neutron Stars
Authors
Abstract:
In this work, we review the formalism which would allow us to model magnetically deformed neutron stars. We study the effect of different magnetic field configurations on the equation of state (EoS) and the structure of such stars. For this aim, the EoS of magnetars is acquired by using the lowest order constraint variational (LOCV) method and employing the AV18 potential. We show how the magnetic field varies from the surface to the center of neutron star by using various exponential and polynomial profiles and compare their results.In addition, global properties of neutron stars are obtained within two formalisms. The first formalism is described by considering the pressure into two directions and the deformation of neutron stars is governed by anisotropies in the equation of state. The second formalism for investigating macroscopic properties of magnetars is gained by treating the nonuniform pressure as a perturbation to the total pressure and expanding metric and pressure up to the quadrupole term in spherical harmonics.Afterwards, we include three nucleon interactions (TNI) to the EoS and apply this model to represent our results for both exponential and polynomial magnetic field profiles.The maximum gravitational mass is obtained in the range of (1.71-1.80) M. and (2.13-2.19) M. for the EoS without and with TNI contribution, respectively.

Magnetic Field Decay in Isolated Neutron Stars
We investigate three mechanisms that promote the loss of magnetic flux from an isolated neutron star. Ohmic decay produces a diffusion of the magnetic field with respect to the charged particles. It proceeds at a rate that is inversely proportional to the electric conductivity and independent of the magnetic field strength. Ohmic decay occurs in both the fluid core and solid crust of a neutron ...

Neutron stars contain persistent, ordered magnetic fields that are the strongest known in the Universe. However, their magnetic fluxes are similar to those in magnetic A and B stars and white dwarfs, suggesting that flux conservation during gravitational collapse may play an important role in establishing the field, although it might also be modified substantially by early convection, different...
full textModelling magnetically deformed neutron stars
Rotating deformed neutron stars are important potential sources for groundbased gravitational-wave interferometers such as LIGO, GE0600 and VIRGO. One mechanism that may lead to significant non-asymmetries is the internal magnetic field. It is well known that a magnetic star will not be spherical and, if the magnetic axis is not aligned with the spin axis, the deformation will lead to the emiss...
full textMagnetic field evolution of accreting neutron stars
We study the evolution of the magnetic field of an accreting neutron star in the frozen field and incompressible fluid approximations. The plasma is accreted onto two polar caps and squeezes some of the surface material of the neutron star toward the equator. The frozen B-field is then pushed toward the equator and is eventually buried there. The magnetic field within the polar cap areas, which...
full textCauses and Consequences of Magnetic Field Changes in Neutron Stars
Because of the quantum fluid properties of a neutron star core’s neutrons and protons, its magnetic field is expected to be coupled strongly to its spin. This predicts a simple evolution of the surface-field of such stars as they spin down or, less commonly, are spun up. Consequences and comparisons with observations are given for properties of solitary spinning down pulsars, including their gl...
full textStarquake-induced Magnetic Field and Torque Evolution in Neutron Stars
The persistent increases in spin-down rate (offsets) seen to accompany glitches in the Crab and other pulsars suggest increases in the spin-down torque. We interpret these offsets as due to starquakes occurring as the star spins down and the rigid crust becomes less oblate. We study the evolution of strain in the crust, the initiation of starquakes, and possible consequences for magnetic field ...
