Since Cowling’s anti-dynamo theorem has forbidden a purely axisymmetric dynamo, scientists are all convinced today that the fluid flow in the core of a star cannot be laminar, so it is turbulent. However, we will see in this study that the configuration in which the conductive fluid contained in the core of a star is in rapid rotation around an axis of symmetry is the one that best explains the origin of the magnetic field of stars and planets. It also explains why certain types of stars have very intense magnetic fields. Indeed, we will show here that the magnetic field of stars and planets is created by the electric current generated by the rotational movement of charged fluid particles as in an electromagnet. The lines of this magnetic field are channelled by the solid paramagnetic seed which plays the role of magnetic core in the cores of planets and stars. The seed is composed mainly of Iron and Nickel on the planets and of solid helium-3 in the stars. In this work, we will use this model of rapidly rotating fluids to introduce a new way to ionize a neutral gas and maintain it in a plasma state for indefinitely large time scales, to present a new technique for generating very intense magnetic fields, to establish a new magnetic nucleation process and to propose a new type of nuclear fusion reactor in which the plasma is perpetually rapidly rotating.展开更多

The reactions ^67Ni(β-)^67Cu and ^62Mn(β-)^62Fe are investigated as examples. The results show that a weak magnetic field has little effect on β decay but a strong magnetic field (B 〉 10^12G) increases β decay rates obviously. The conclusion derived may be crucial to the research of late evolution of neutron stars and nucleosynthesis in r-process.展开更多

We find that if the interior field is on the same order as the surface field currently observed, then the influences of the field on the star's mass and radius are negligible; if the field is as large as that estimated from the scalar virial theorem, then considerable effects will be induced. The maximum mass of the star will be increased substantially while the central density is greatly reduced. The radius of a magnetic star can be larger by about 10% ~ 20% than a nonmagnetic star of the same mass.展开更多

A diffu- sion coefficient of magnetic angular momentum transport is deduced. Rotating stellar models with different mass incorporating the coefficient are computed to give the rotation profiles. The total angular momentum of a solar model with only hydrodynamic instabilities is about 13 times larger than that of the Sun at the age of the Sun, and this model can not reproduce quasi-solid rotation in the radiative region. However, the solar model with magnetic fields not only can reproduce an almost uniform rotation in the radiative region, but also a total angular momentum that is consistent with the helioseismic result at the 3 tr level at the age of the Sun. The rotation of solar-like stars with magnetic fields is almost uniform in the radiative region, but for models of 1.2-1.5 MG, there is an obvious transition region between the convective core and the radiative region, where angular velocity has a sharp radial gradient, which is different from the rotation profile of the Sun and of massive stars with magnetic fields. The change of angular velocity in the transition region increases with increasing age and mass.展开更多

For this purpose, we develop the generalized hydrostatic equi- librium equation for charged perfect fluid distribution of compact stars and perturb it by means of local density perturbation scheme to check the stability of inner matter configuration. We investigate the cracking of Her X-I, PSR 1937+21, PSR J 1614-2230, PSR J 0348+0432 and B.X J 1856-37. We conclude that PSR J 0348+0432 and RX J 1856-37 exhibit cracking when charge is introduced on these astrophysical objects.展开更多

In our calculations, the neutron star mat- ter was approximated by pure neutron matter. Using the lowest order constrained vari- ational approach at zero and finite temperatures, and employing AV18 potential, we present the effects of strong magnetic fields on the gravitational mass, radius, and gravitational redshift of neutron and protoneutron stars. It is found that the equation of state for a neutron star becomes stiffer with an increase of magnetic field and tem- perature. This leads to larger values of the maximum mass and radius for the neutron stars.展开更多

We numerically calculate the deviation from chemical equilibrium and thermal evolution of neutron stars with decaying magnetic fields. We find that the power-law long term decay of the magnetic field slightly affects the deviation from chemical equilibrium and surface temperature. However, the magnetic decay leads to older neutron stars that could have a different surface temperature with the same magnetic field strength. That is, older neutron stars with a low magnetic field (10^8 G) could have a lower temper- ature even with rotochemical heating in operation, which probably explains the lack of other observations on older millisecond pulsars with higher surface temperature, except millisecond pulsar J0437-4715.展开更多

We also discuss in detail the discrepant factor between our results and those of Fushiki, Gudmundsson and Pethick (FGP) in SMF. The results show that SMF has only a slight effect on ES when B 〈 10^9 T on the surfaces of most neutron stars. Whereas for some magnetars, SMF influence ES greatly when B 〉 10^9 T . For instance, due to SMF the ES potential may be increased about 23.6% and the EEC may be increased about 4 orders of magnitude at ρ/μe = 1.0 × 10^6 mol/cm^3 and T9 = 1. On the other hand, the discrepant factor shows that our results are in good agreement with FGP's when B 〈 10^9 T . But the difference will be increased with increasing SMF.展开更多

In both cases, magnetic field production decreases in the case of maximum quark star mass. Furthermore, a tangled, isotropic magnetic field has a relatively smaller impact on the mass and radius, compared to the force-free configuration, which implies that the geometry of the interior magnetic field is at least as important as the field strength itself when the influ- ence of the strong magnetic field on the mass and radius is assessed.展开更多

Tile magnetized sphere is embedded in an exterior Reissner NordstrOm metric. We assume that all physical quantities are in static equilibrium. The perfect fluid matter is studied under a particular form of the Lagrangian density f(R, T). The magnetic field profile in modified gravity is calculated. Observational data of neutron stars are used to plot suitable models of magnetized compact objects. We reveal the effect of f(R, T) gravity on the magnetic field profile, with application to neutron stars, especially highly magnetized neutron stars found in x-ray pulsar systems. Finally, the effective potential Veff and innermost stable circular orbits, arising out of the motion of a test particle of negligible mass influenced by attraction or repulsion from the massive center, are discussed.展开更多
