We calculate the steady-state properties of neutrino-driven winds from strongly magnetized, rotating proto-neutron stars (`proto-magnetars') under the assumption that the outflow geometry is set by the force-free magnetic field of an…
We study the role of the pasta phases on the properties of rotating and magnetized neutron stars. In order to investigate such systems, we make use of two different relativistic mean-field unified inner-crust--core equations of state, with…
We derive the energy asymmetry given the proto-neutronstar during the time when the neutrino sphere is near the surface of the proto-neutron star, using the modified URCA process. The electrons produced with the anti-neutrinos are in Landau…
Several relatively bright, persistent X-ray sources display regular pulses, with periods in the range of 700-10000 s. These sources are identified with massive close binaries in which a neutron star accretes material onto its surface. The…
The impact of the magnetic field on postbounce supernova dynamics of non-rotating stellar cores is studied by performing three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics simulations with spectral neutrino transport. The explodability of strongly and…
We apply the model of flux expulsion from the superfluid and superconductive core of a neutron star, developed by Konenkov & Geppert (2000), both to neutron star models based on different equations of state and to different initial magnetic…
The paucity of old isolated accreting neutron stars in ROSAT observations is used to derive a lower limit on the mean velocity of neutron stars at birth. The secular evolution of the population is simulated following the paths of a…
We investigate the evolution of pulsars in the (P,P-dot) diagram. We first present analytical formulae to follow the evolution of a pulsar using simple exponential models for magnetic field decay and alignment. We then compare these…
Surface rotation rates of young solar-type stars display drastic changes at the end of the pre-main sequence through the early main sequence. This may trigger corresponding changes in the magnetic dynamos operating in these stars, which…
In this paper we present the results of time-dependent simulations of dipolar axisymmetric magnetospheres of neutron stars carried out both within the framework of relativistic magnetohydrodynamics and within the framework of resistive…
We present a case study for the relevance of the r-mode instability for accreting compact stars. Our estimates are based on approximations that facilitate back-of-the-envelope calculations. We discuss two different cases: 1) For recycled…
Despite a growing sample of precisely measured stellar rotation periods and ages, the strength of magnetic braking and the degree of departure from standard (Skumanich-like) spindown have remained persistent questions, particularly for…
Simulations of magnetohydrodynamics convection in slowly rotating stars predict anti-solar differential rotation (DR) in which the equator rotates slower than poles. This anti-solar DR in the usual $\alpha \Omega$ dynamo model does not…
Under normal conditions in a neutron-star crust, ions are locked in place in the crustal lattice and only electrons are mobile, and magnetic-field evolution is thus directly related to the electron velocity. The evolution, however, builds…
We derive the energy asymmetry given the proto-neutron star during the time when the neutrino sphere is near the surface of the proto-neutron star, using the modified URCA process. The electrons produced with the anti-neutrinos are in…
We study the dynamical stability against bar-mode deformation of rapidly spinning neutron stars with differential rotation. We perform fully relativistic 3D simulations of compact stars with $M/R \geq 0.1$, where $M$ is the total…
We consider the magnetic and spin evolution of isolated neutron stars assuming that the magnetic field is initially confined to the crust. The evolution of the crustal field is determined by the conductive properties of the crust which, in…
Observations show that faster-rotating stars tend to have stronger magnetic activity and shorter magnetic cycles. The cyclical magnetic activity of the Sun and stars is believed to be driven by the dynamo process. The success of the…
Dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) is used to study neutron matter, both with and without admixture of the proton fraction. The system is approximated by the lattice Habbard model. The corresponding equation of state as a function of…
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…
