磁形变中子星的模拟
Modelling magnetically deformed neutron stars
摘要:
旋转形变中子星是LIGO、GE0600和VIRGO等地基引力波干涉仪的重要潜在源。可能导致显著非对称性的一种机制是内部磁场。众所周知,磁星不会是球形的,如果磁轴与自旋轴不对齐,变形将导致引力波的发射。本文的目的是开发一种形式主义,使我们能够模拟磁变形的恒星,使用现实的状态方程和场配置。作为第一步,我们考虑一组简化的模型问题。我们以偶极场为中心,确定了与给定的中子星模型相一致的内部磁场。然后我们计算相关的变形。最后,我们讨论了我们的研究结果的相关性,目前的引力波探测器和未来的前景。
英文摘要:
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 emission of gravitational waves. The aim of this paper is to develop a formalism that would allow us to model magnetically deformed stars, using both realistic equations of state and field configurations. As a first step, we consider a set of simplified model problems. Focusing on dipolar fields, we determine the internal magnetic field which is consistent with a given neutron star model. We then calculate the associated deformation. We conclude by discussing the relevance of our results for current gravitational-wave detectors and future prospects.
