Monster Radiative Shocks in the Perturbed Magnetospheres of Neutron Stars
Magnetospheres of neutron stars can be perturbed by star quakes, interaction in a binary system, or sudden collapse of the star. The perturbations are typically in the kilohertz band and excite magnetohydrodynamic waves. We show that compressive magnetospheric waves steepen into monster shocks, poss...
