Funded Activity Summary

Neutron Stars: Outflows and Inflows. A neutron star (NS) is an ultradense, ultramagnetised stellar corpse. I will study how the charged-particle wind of an isolated NS interacts with its environment, motivated by recent high-resolution imaging of supernova remnants. I will also study how accreting gas buries the magnetic field of a binary NS, motivated by the imminent commissioning of the first generation of interferometric gravitational wave telescopes. The work will greatly improve our understanding of NS electrodynamics, the Crab nebula, and the radio emission from millisecond pulsars, and makes a novel, quantifiable prediction of detectable levels of gravitational waves from X-ray millisecond pulsars.
