Microscopic magnetic dipole radiation in neutron stars

Astrophysics 2009-11-13 v1

Abstract

There is 3P2{}^3P_2 neutron superfluid region in NS (neutron star) interior. For a rotating NS, the 3P2{}^3P_2 superfluid region is like a system of rotating magnetic dipoles. It will give out electromagnetic radiation, which may provides a new heating mechanism of NSs. This heating mechanism plus some cooling agent may give sound explanation to NS glitches.
