Vibration Powered Radiation of Quaking Magnetar

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

In juxtaposition with the standard model of rotation powered pulsar, the model of vibration powered magnetar undergoing quake-induced torsional Alfven vibrations in its own ultra strong magnetic field experiencing decay is considered. The presented line of argument suggests that gradual decrease of frequencies (lengthening of periods) of long-periodic pulsed radiation detected from a set of X-ray sources can be attributed to magnetic-field-decay induced energy conversion from seismic vibrations to magneto-dipole radiation of quaking magnetar.
