Stars Bisected by Relativistic Blades
We consider the dynamics of an equatorial explosion powered by a millisecond magnetar formed from the core collapse of a massive star. We study whether these outflows—generated by a priori magneto-centrifugally driven, relativistic magnetar winds—might be powerful enough to produce an ultrarelativis...
