Exploring the magnetic personalities of stars

(PhysOrg.com) -- Massive stars are inherently violent creatures-they burn, they churn, they turn, all the while creating and held hostage by constantly changing magnetic fields of almost unfathomable strength.
And, eventually, they explode, littering the universe with the elements of life as we know it: hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, etc. Everything including ourselves is the result of some star's violent demise. "We are stardust, we are golden, we are billion-year-old carbon" goes the song "Woodstock" by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. Even the hippies know it. And no stars do it better than those that will one day become core-collapse supernovas, or stars greater than eight solar masses. But the evolution and nature of these elemental fountains is still a mystery, one of the greatest unsolved problems in astrophysics. But perhaps not unsolved for long. A team led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Tony Mezzacappa is getting closer to explaining the origins of CCSN explosions with the help of Jaguar, a Cray XT5 supercomputer located at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility that likewise calls ORNL home.
Essentially, said Eirik Endeve, lead author of the team's latest paper, researchers want to know how these magnetic fields are created and how they impact the explosions of these massive stars. A recent suite of simulations allowed the team to address some of the most fundamental questions surrounding the magnetic fields of CCSNs. Its findings were published in The Astrophysical Journal. In untangling the mystery surrounding these stars' powerful magnetic fields, researchers could ultimately explain a great deal as to why these stellar giants evolve into elemental firecrackers.
In an effort to locate the source of the magnetic fields, the team simulated a supernova progenitor, or a star in its pre-supernova phase, using tens of millions of hours on Jaguar, the nation's fastest supercomputer. The process revealed that we still have much to learn when it comes to how these stellar marvels operate.
Rotation schmotation
Collapsed supernova remnants are commonly known as pulsars, and when it comes to magnetic fields, pulsars are the top players in the stellar community. These highly magnetized, rapidly rotating neutron stars get their name from the seemingly pulsing beam of light they emit, similar to the varying brightness produced by lighthouses as they rotate. This rotation is thought to be a big factor in determining the strength of a pulsar's magnetic field-the faster a star rotates the stronger its magnetic fields.
Supernova progenitors tend to be slower-rotating stars. Nevertheless, the simulations of these progenitors revealed a robust magnetic-field-generation mechanism, contradicting accepted theory that rotation could be a primary driver.
Interestingly, this finding builds on the team's previous work, which together with the latest simulations reveals that the culprit behind pulsar spins is likewise responsible for their magnetic fields. The earlier simulations, the results of which were published in "Pulsar spins from an instability in the accretion shock of supernovae" in the January 2007 edition of Nature, demonstrated that a phenomenon known as the spiral mode occurs when the shock wave expanding from a supernova's core stalls in a phase known as the standing accretion shock instability. As the expanding shockwave driving the supernova explosion comes to a halt, matter outside the shockwave boundary enters the interior, creating vortices that not only start the star spinning, but also yank and stretch its magnetic fields as well.
This new revelation means two things to astronomers: first, that any rotation that serves as a key driver behind a supernova's magnetism is created via the spiral mode, and second, that not only can the spiral mode drive rotation, but it can also determine the strength of a pulsar's magnetic fields.
Another major finding of the team's simulations is that shear flow from the SASI, or when counter-rotating layers of the star rub against one another during the SASI event, is highly susceptible to turbulence, which can also stretch and strengthen the progenitor's magnetic fields, similar to the expansion of a spring.
These two findings taken together show that CCSN magnetic fields can be efficiently generated by a somewhat unexpected source: shear flow-induced turbulence roiling the inner core of the star. "We found that starting with a magnetic field similar to what we think is in a supernova progenitor, this turbulent mechanism is capable of magnifying the magnetic field to pulsar strengths," Endeve said.
The GenASiS of magnetic fields
The team used the General Astrophysical Simulation System to study the evolution of the progenitor's magnetic fields. GenASiS, under development by Christian Cardall, Reuben Budiardia, Endeve and Mezzacappa at ORNL and Pedro Marronetti at Florida Atlantic University, features a novel approach to neutrino transport and gravity and makes fewer approximations than its earlier counterpart, which assumed CCSNs were perfectly spherical.
The simulations essentially solved a series of magnetohydrodynamic equations, or equations that describe the properties of electrically conductive fluids. After setting the initial conditions, the team ran several models at low and high resolutions, with the highest-resolution models taking more than a month to complete. Initially, Endeve said, they were run at lower resolutions, but very little significant activity occurred. However, as they ramped up the resolution, things got interesting.
The model starts at 4,000 cores, Endeve said, but as the star becomes more chaotic with turbulence and other factors, the simulations are scaled up to 64,000 cores, giving the team a more realistic picture of the magnetic activity in a CCSN. He added that the fact that the time to solution for these hugely varying job sizes is the same due to Jaguar's queue scheduling policy is a "great advantage." "The facilities here are excellent," said Endeve, adding that the center's high-performance storage system is very important to the team's research, as one model produces hundreds of terabytes of data. "We have also received a lot of help from the visualization team, especially Ross Toedte, and the group's liaison to the OLCF, Bronson Messer."
The team will next incorporate sophisticated neutrino transport and relativistic gravity, which will give it an even more realistic picture of CCSNs. However, to make such a powerful code economical, said Endeve, it will need to employ an adaptive mesh. And it will no doubt require Jaguar's computing power.
This latest discovery is just one more step toward unraveling the mysteries of CCSNs. As GenASiS continues to evolve, the team will be able to investigate these important stellar cataclysms at unprecedented levels, bringing science one step closer to a fundamental understanding of our universe.

"It now seems more likely that asymmetric stellar explosions, bipolar outflows [117] and
flares [118] are powered by neutron repulsion [98] and guided by the magnetic field of
the neutron core [112] or the iron-rich material that surrounds it [118]. Neutron decay
into oppositely charged H+ and e-, in the presence of a strong magnetic field, may initiate
the electrical currents that have long puzzled careful observers of the Sun and other
stellar objects [106,119,120].
Conclusions
Dynamic competition between gravitational attraction and neutron repulsion sustains our
dynamic universe, the Sun, and life on planet Earth. Nuclear matter in the solar system is
mostly dissociating rather than coalescing (fusing together). "

Researches by Prof. Oliver are the results of the intensive and hard investigations for last decades. He has already proved that the solar shell is a cradle of the nuclides. Even the standard solar model suggests the violent thermonuclear reactions around the core. Violent thermonuclear wind (bombardment) through the radiative zone and shell produces nuclear synthesis reactions. Thus cradle of nuclides (shell) is produced by bombardment of the protons, neutrons, deuteriums,.. and alpha particles. Do you know physics? This is an alimentary nuclear law.

So I will repeat the challenges. Answer one and I will deal with both links. Two for one. Not till tomorrow or the next day. I have to sleep.
So where is that evidence? You are so sure of it there should be evidence. Continued evasion will result in repeated questioning.

Hey slick, you do recognize that the Ekpyrotic/Cyclical models of the universe are inclusive of Big Bang cosmology, don't you? Dumbass.

What I tried to communicate is that the neutron star at the core of the Sun is highly magnetic ["Neutron Repulsion," The APEIRON Journal in press (2011), 19 pages].
arxiv.org/pdf/1102.1499v1
Neutron repulsion generates solar luminosity by these reactions:
1. 60%: Neutron emission
2. 05%: Neutron decay to H
3. 35%: H-fusion of the decay product
See: "Neutron Repulsion," The APEIRON Journal in press (2011), page 10

Sometimes, when explaining something to a child, you must act as one in order to reach an understandable medium of communication. Then again, aren't you the one who was relieved of duty for bullying his peers and students? Ah yes indeed.

I see that you are still evading my questions thus I must repeat them until at least one is answered before answering yours. You have NO BUSINESS asking me questions while refusing to answer mine.
1 Show evidence for the decay of bound neutrons. Anywhere at any time. Evidence not speculation.
2 Oliver's chart shows tthat lager atoms have a higher neutron to proton ratio. Please show how atoms need MORE neutrons when adding more repelling nutrons should decrease stability if they repel each other as Oliver states.
3 Why doesn't even Dr. Toth cite his own paper? Why doesn't he support Oliver on the idea of the Sun being a pulsar?
4 The smallest possible neutron star is 1.3 solar masses. Please explain how a neutron star of less than 1.3 solar masses can exist.
5 Where is the evidence that Sun has a RIGID iron shell when all Oliver has done is shown that there iron PLASMA in a filament of PLASMA?

As a main poor organization in the world, I can teach to NASA scientists for free how the main heat source is working. Small Stars have the minimal mass limit - 10 times less that the Sun. similar limit has a naked core of the exploded star Neutron star. In reality this is a star of the recycled neutrons. An ordinary neutron is a fuel for the neutron star systems. Smaller stars are extracting own neutron and thermonuclear fuel much slowly. Thus to discovery their explosions and their naked cores - neutron stars of the recycled neutrons is too difficult.

He has had ample opportunity to explain right here and in other forums and he has cosistently pointed to the articles that have the problems that we ask about.
No you can't. You have no proof of a neutron core or neutron repulsion and thus can't use them to explain things. Those are the claims that need explaining.
That is a meaningless noise. What mass limit? Perhaps it is a matter of language.

Repeating the claim is not an explanation.
Claim without support.
Claim that denies evidence as no bound neutron has been seen to decay.
No such discovery. All neutron stars have been over 1.3 solar masses.
Of course it is too difficult. It doesn't exist.

Huh???
10,000,000 hours / 24 = approximately 416,667 Days
416,667 / 365 = approximately 1,142 Years

"Inside the troubled nuclear power plant, officials knew the risks were high when they decided to vent radioactive steam from a severely overheated reactor vessel. They knew a hydrogen explosion could occur, and it did. The decision still trumped the worst-case alternative total nuclear meltdown."
After expulsion from neutron-rich nuclei of stars, U or Pu, the neutron decays to hydrogen in ~10 minutes.

Neutron => H+ + e-
That is also the source of hydrogen pouring from the top of the Sun's atmosphere.

What's really going on is that the seawater is chemically reacting with the fuel rods under high temperature and pressure. The oxygen from the water is oxidizing the fuel rods and their casings, releasing hydrogen in the process.
I'm disgusted by your attempt to use this horrific tragedy in Japan to promote your pseudo-scientific dribble, especially when it is so off-topic, and I'm reporting you to the admins.

The hydrogen is NOT free neutrons Oliver and that should have been clear to you as there aren't enough free neutrons being created to produce a significant bubble. Get a clue. Do the research. Quit the HandWaving.

Magnetic fields are created by electric currents. This is Electro-magnetism.
"In an effort to locate the source of the magnetic fields,"
The source of the magnetic fields are electric currents, meaning that stars are likely z-pinches as first described by W.H.Bennett in 1934.
Its much easier to theoretically explain enormously strong magnetic fields if we just assume that they are generated the same way every other known magnetic field is: by electric currents.
