In this article, the authors show that energy injected into an expanding supernova by a highly magnetic (B � 5 � 10 14 G)neutron starspinning at an initial period of Pi 2 20 m scan substantially brightens the lightcurve.Abstract:

Neutrino viscosity and drag: impact on the magnetorotational instability in protoneutron stars
TL;DR: The magneto-rotational instability (MRI) is a promising mechanism to amplify the magnetic field in fast rotating proto-neutron stars (PNS) as mentioned in this paper, which can be modeled as a viscosity on length scales longer than the neutrino mean free path.

Formation of very strongly magnetized neutron stars - Implications for gamma-ray bursts
TL;DR: In this article, it is argued that a convective dynamo can also generate a very strong dipole field after the merger of a neutron star binary, but only if the merged star survives for as long as about 10-100 ms.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the discovery of pulsations in the persistent X-ray flux of SGR1806-20, with a period of 7.47 s and a spindown rate of 2.6 x 10(exp -3) s/yr.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neutron star dynamos and the origins of pulsar magnetism
TL;DR: In this article, it is argued that most of the magnetic energy becomes concentrated in thin flux ropes when the field pressure exceeds the turbulent pressure at the smallest scale of turbulence, and the possibilities for dynamo action during the various (precollapse) stages of convective motion that occur in the evolution of a massive star are examined.

TL;DR: Differential photometry offers the most precise method for measuring the brightness of astronomical objects as mentioned in this paper, and it has been used extensively in the application of differential techniques from the earliest visual methods to photoelectric and CCD photometry.
