中子星自旋下降与磁倾角演化

Neutron-star spindown and magnetic inclination-angle evolution

S. K. Lander, D. I. Jones

摘要:

一个旋转的流体星,被赋予一个磁场,可以经历一种形式的岁差运动:刚体自由岁差和非刚性响应的总和。在长期的时间尺度上,这种运动是消散的体积和剪切粘性过程中的恒星内部和磁层制动的外部,改变旋转和磁轴之间的倾角。使用我们最近的解决方案的非刚性进动动力学,和粘性耗散积分导出本文中,我们使唯一的自洽计算这些耗散率的日期。我们提出的第一个结果的完整的耦合演化的自旋和倾斜角的模型的后期原中子星与强环形磁场,允许电磁转矩和内部耗散时,发展的倾斜角。我们探讨这种耦合演化的初始倾角,旋转速率和磁场强度的范围。对于固定的初始倾角,我们的研究结果表明,中子星人口自然演变成两类:近对齐和近正交的旋转-与典型的β星属于后一类。毫秒磁星可以演化成成熟磁星所呈现的近排列旋转体,但仅限于小的初始倾角和强于大致$5\times 10^{15}$ G.一旦任何模型已经演化到对齐或正交状态,在以后的时间似乎没有进一步的演化远离这个状态。

英文摘要:

A rotating fluid star, endowed with a magnetic field, can undergo a form of precessional motion: a sum of rigid-body free precession and a non-rigid response. On secular timescales this motion is dissipated by bulk and shear viscous processes in the stellar interior and magnetospheric braking in the exterior, changing the inclination angle between the rotation and magnetic axes. Using our recent solutions for the non-rigid precessional dynamics, and viscous dissipation integrals derived in this paper, we make the only self-consistent calculation to date of these dissipation rates. We present the first results for the full coupled evolution of spindown and inclination angle for a model of a late-stage proto-neutron star with a strong toroidal magnetic field, allowing for both electromagnetic torques and internal dissipation when evolving the inclination angle. We explore this coupled evolution for a range of initial inclination angles, rotation rates and magnetic field strengths. For fixed initial inclination angle, our results indicate that the neutron-star population naturally evolves into two classes: near-aligned and near-orthogonal rotators -- with typical pulsars falling into the latter category. Millisecond magnetars can evolve into the near-aligned rotators which mature magnetars appear to be, but only for small initial inclination angle and internal toroidal fields stronger than roughly $5\times 10^{15}$ G. Once any model has evolved to either an aligned or orthogonal state, there appears to be no further evolution away from this state at later times.
