Yoshida Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A theoretical astrophysics lab that investigates the equilibrium configurations and properties of neutron stars with magnetic fields.
AboutAbout the lab
Modeling magnetized neutron stars through theory.
The Yoshida Lab studies magnetized neutron stars from the standpoint of theoretical astrophysics.
Neutron stars are considered to be central objects in high-energy astrophysical phenomena, but our understanding of their internal magnetic fields remains insufficient, in both observation and theory.
The lab develops formulations and numerical codes to efficiently compute theoretically self-consistent models of magnetized neutron stars within the framework of general relativity.
Key terms
- Neutron star
- One of the objects considered to be central to high-energy astrophysical phenomena. Our understanding of its internal structure, especially its magnetic field, is still insufficient.
- Magnetized neutron star
- A neutron star accompanied by a magnetic field. This lab studies its equilibrium configurations using the theory of general relativity.
- Equilibrium solution
- A solution of the equations that describes a state in which a star is in balance and keeps its shape. It is the starting point for studying stability.
ResearchResearch themes
Our understanding of the internal structure of neutron stars, and especially of their internal magnetic fields, is still insufficient in both observation and theory. The lab develops formulations and numerical codes to efficiently compute models of magnetized neutron stars within the framework of general relativity, with the aim of clarifying their basic properties.
