Talk Title

Explaining Radio Emission Of Magnetars Via Rotating And Oscillating Magnetospheres Of Neutron Stars

Abstract

The conditions for radio emission in rotating and oscillating magnetars by focusing on the main physical processes determining the position of their death lines, i.e. of those lines that separate the regions where the neutron star may be radio loud or radio quiet. We find that larger compactness parameters of the star as well as larger inclination angles between the rotation axis and the magnetic moment produce death lines well above the majority of known magnetars. This is consistent with the observational evidence of no regular radio emission from the magnetars in the frequency range typical for the ordinary pulsars. On the contrary, when oscillations of the magnetar are taken into account, the death lines shift downward and the conditions necessary for the generation of radio emission in the magnetosphere are met. Present observations showing a close connection between the burst activity of magnetars and the generation of the radio emission in the magnetar magnetosphere are naturally accounted within our interpretation.
