Strongly Magnetized White Dwarfs

Nordhaus et al. present an interesting model in which the accretion and disruption of a binary companion results in a strongly magnetized white dwarf. The key idea is that the evolved red giant can rapidly accreting the companion during a common envelope phase. As the companion is disrupted and forms an accretion disk, a strong magnetic field is generated by the differential rotation of the disk. They argue that it could also happen for magnetars!

Sorry it has been a quiet week!
