Generating neutron-star magnetic fields: three dynamo phases.

LANDER S.K.

Abstract (from CDS):

Young neutron stars (NSs) have magnetic fields in the range 1012-1015 G, believed to be generated by dynamo action at birth. We argue that such a dynamo is actually too inefficient to explain the strongest of these fields. Dynamo action in the mature star is also unlikely. Instead we propose a promising new precession-driven dynamo and examine its basic properties, as well as arguing for a revised mean-field approach to NS dynamos. The precession-driven dynamo could also play a role in field generation in main-sequence stars.
