A connection between proto-neutron-star Tayler-Spruit dynamos and low-field magnetars
Igoshev, Andrei, Barrère, Paul, Raynaud, Raphaël, Guilet, Jérome, Wood, Toby, Hollerbach, Rainer Low-field magnetars have dipolar magnetic fields of 1012-1013 G, 10-100 times weaker than the values of magnetic-field strength B ≈ 1014-1015 G used to define classical magnetars, yet they produce similar X-ray bursts and outbursts. Using direct numerical simulations of magnetothermal evolution starting from a … Read more
