1207.6444 (Kenta Kiuchi et al.)

Three dimensional evolution of differentially rotating magnetized neutron stars    [PDF]

Kenta Kiuchi, Koutarou Kyutoku, Masaru Shibata
We construct a new three-dimensional general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics code, in which a fixed mesh refinement technique is implemented. To ensure the divergence-free condition as well as the magnetic flux conservation, we employ the method by Balsara (2001). Using this new code, we evolve differentially rotating magnetized neutron stars, and find that a magnetically driven outflow is launched from the star exhibiting a kink instability. The matter ejection rate and Poynting flux are still consistent with our previous finding (Shibata et al., 2011) obtained in axisymmetric simulations.
