Title: Breaking Behaviors of Neutron Star Crusts
Speaker: Nevin Smith (Illinois State University)
Abstract: Magnetar transients are thought to be caused by the breaking of neutron star crusts. Beyond the linear-elastic regime, the breaking behavior of the crust is not understood. We perform first-principles molecular dynamics simulations that study the break and post-break behavior of the crust. Additionally, we develop a new method to include magnetic fields in molecular dynamic simulations.
