The resultant velocity depends on not the magnitude, but rather the ratio of the two moments and their geometrical configuration. The model does not necessarily lead to high spatial velocity for a magnetar with a strong magnetic field, which is consistent with the recent observational upper bound. The maximum velocity predicted with this model is slightly smaller than that of observed fast-moving pulsars.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-12-07T01:33:30.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quadrupole radiation", "magnetic dipole", "kick velocity", "resultant velocity depends", "high spatial velocity" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "The Astrophysical Journal", "year": 2011, "month": "Feb", "volume": 728, "number": 2, "pages": 75 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 879740, "adsabs": "2011ApJ...728...75K" } } }
