无光柱旋转中子星

Rotating neutron stars without light cylinders

Maxim Lyutikov, Praveen Sharma

摘要:

我们发现了一类扭曲且差异旋转的中子星磁层,它们没有光柱,不产生风,因此不会自旋下降。磁层是由嵌入式差分旋转通量表面,与角速度降低为$Ω\propto 1/r$(相当于,变得更小的脚点靠近旋转轴)。对于每个给定的南北自相似扭曲轮廓,存在一组自相似角速度轮廓(从上面限制),其具有延伸到无穷远的“平滑”、偶极状磁场结构。当自旋参数大于某个临界值时,轻圆柱出现,磁层打开,风产生。

英文摘要:

We find a class of twisted and differentially rotating neutron star magnetospheres that do not have a light cylinder, generate no wind and thus do not spin-down. The magnetosphere is composed of embedded differentially rotating flux surfaces, with the angular velocity decreasing as $Ω\propto 1/r$ (equivalently, becoming smaller at the foot-points closer to the axis of rotation). For each given North-South self-similar twist profile there is a set of self-similar angular velocity profiles (limited from above) with a "smooth", dipolar-like magnetic field structure extending to infinity. For spin parameters larger than some critical value, the light cylinder appears, magnetosphere opens up, and the wind is generated.
