Magnetic field amplification by the r-mode instability

Abstract: We discuss magnetic field enhancement by unstable r-modes (driven by the gravitational radiation reaction force) in rotating stars. In the absence of a magnetic field, gravitational radiation exponentially increases the r-mode amplitude α, and accelerates differential rotation (secular motion of fluid elements). For a magnetized star, differential rotation enhances the magnetic field energy. Rezzolla et al. (2000 argued that if the magnetic energy grows faster than the gravitational radiation reaction force pu… Show more

“…Analysis is performed within generalized toy model by Friedman et al (2017) and shows that differential rotation can affect apparent spin down rate for growing (unsaturated) and, in some cases, saturated rmodes (corresponding criteria are suggested). In Subsection 4.3 I discuss r-mode instability in magnetized perfect fluid star, applying the results by Friedman et al (2017) (see Chugunov et al (2017b) for short summary). They demonstrate that magnetic field suppresses differential motion of fluid elements.…”
