Permanent URI for this communityhttps://scholarworks.montana.edu/handle/1/404

The Undergraduate Scholars Program (USP) is one of the largest multidisciplinary undergraduate research programs at MSU. We are here to help undergraduate students in all disciplines pursue research, scholarship, and creative projects.



The Undergraduate Scholars Program (USP) facilitates, supports, and promotes undergraduate research and scholarship by providing funding and logistical support directly to students.

    Selective Excitation of Stellar Oscillations of a Magnetar with a Tangled Magnetic Field
    (Montana State Univeristy, 2017-04) Bretz, Joseph
    Magnetars are strongly magnetized neutron stars. Some of them produce giant flares that exhibit quasi-periodic oscillations which have been attributed to stellar oscillations that modulate the emission. A tangled magnetic field model introduces a spectrum of magnetic normal modes that can explain the observed quasi-periodic oscillations, as expected from stability considerations. We show that reasonable initial conditions selectively excite stellar oscillations, and find promising agreement with data.
