Evolutions of Rotating Neutron Stars within a GR+MHD code |
We model the evolution of magnetized, rigidly rotating neutron stars within a fully general relativistic implementation of ideal magnetohydrodynamics with no assumed symmetries in three spatial dimensions. Beginning with fully consistent initial data constructed with Magstar, part of the Lorene project, we study the dynamics and stability of rotating, magnetized polytropic stars as models of neutron stars. These evolutions show that the code is stable and convergent. Furthermore, evolutions suggest that some of these rotating, magnetized stars may be minimally unstable occurring at the threshold of black hole formation. |
