Magnetic Toys in the Sky<\/strong>
\nDr. Yuri Levin<\/strong>, Assoc. Professor & ARC Future Fellow, School of Physics & Astronomy, Monash University (Melbourne, Australia)<\/p>\n

In terrestrial conditions, magnetic fields usually play second fiddle to matter. However, in space, magnetic fields can play a decisive role in dynamics of many astrophysical objects.
\n In my talk, I will describe several interesting magnetic structures that do not have counterparts in terrestrial conditions: 1. Accretion discs around supermassive black holes that are in a state of magnetic levitation, 2. Magnetically driven hurricane-like deflagration fronts that are explosively consuming oceans on rapidly spinning neutron stars, and 3. Avalanches of magnetically-induced thermoplastic failures in magnetar crusts that may be connected to the observed activity of magnetars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
