We should note that the neutrino damping of nonradial pulsations discussed by D. Kazanas and D. N. Schramm, Astrophys. J. 214, 819 (1977), is not relevant here. The nonaxisymmetric configuration is a lowest-energy (equilibrium) state of the core and is not associated with pulsations.^^The arguments presented earlier with regard to magnetic fields apply even more strongly here. If neutron-star fields are any indication, there simply is not enough time for sufficient winding of the field lines. ^^B. D. Miller, Astrophys. J. 187, 609 (1974); M. N. Fedorov and V. P.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
