Nonaxisymmetric Hall instability: A key to understanding magnetars

It is generally accepted that the nonlinear, dynamical evolution of magnetic fields in the interior of neutron stars plays a key role in the explanation of the observed phenomenology. Understanding the transfer of energy between toroidal and poloidal components, or between different scales, is of pa...
