Born–Infeld magnetars: larger than classical toroidal magnetic fields and implications for gravitational-wave astronomy
Abstract Magnetars are neutron stars presenting bursts and outbursts of X- and soft-gamma rays that can be understood with the presence of very large magnetic fields. In this setting, nonlinear electrodynamics should be taken into account for a more accurate description of such compact systems. We s...
