Breaking properties of neutron star crust

Abstract: The strength of neutron star crust is crucial for modelling magnetar flares, pulsar glitches and gravitational wave emission. We aim to shed some light on this problem by analysing uniaxial stretch deformation (elongation and contraction) of perfect bodycentered cubic Coulomb crystals, paying special attention to the inherent anisotropy of this process. Our analysis is based on the semi-analytical approach of Baiko & Kozhberov (2017), which, for any uniform deformation, allows one to calculate, in fully non-li… Show more

“…This could support significant "mountains" with large asymmetries and ellipticity ǫ as large as 10 −6 to 10 −5 [403]. More recently, Baiko and Chugunov [404] argued that the maximum strain for the stretch deformation sustainable elastically is 0.04. As already mentioned earlier in this review, the physics of the neutron-star crust is a very active area of research and the exact value of σ max is still to be determined.…”

“…where σ is the elastic strain tensor and σmax is the maximum breaking strain of the crust. Baiko & Chugunov 2018). Although depending on various factors, such as the degree of hydrostatic pressure anisotropies, moleculardynamics simulations performed in the aforementioned studies find 10 −3 σmax 10 −1 .…”

“…As remarked earlier, there may even be a time evolution of the magneticfield-induced quadrupole ellipticity in these early phases. This is a plausible scenario assuming that the concerned crustal stresses and strains, due to the magnetic pressure, are below the breaking limit [60,61]. An evolving quadrupole ellipticity has been previously studied, in other GW contexts [62][63][64][65], and we would like to explore if the presence of MMMs may leave imprints on this quadrupole ellipticity evolution, and consequent GW generation.…”

“…This causes a decay of the magnetic field hitherto different from conventional mechanisms operational in a neutron star. The modified magnetic field evolution in turn may affect the time evolution of the quadrupole ellipticity, assuming the concerned neutron star crustal strains are below the breaking limit [60,61]. This opens up an avenue for probing these exotic states by their imprints on the gravitational waves emitted.…”
