Quantum magnetic collapse of a partially bosonized npe-gas: Implications for astrophysical jets

TL;DR

This paper proposes a quantum magnetic collapse mechanism in a partially bosonized npe-gas that could explain the production and collimation of astrophysical jets from neutron stars.

Contribution

It introduces a novel quantum magnetic collapse process in npe-gas that may trigger jet expulsion and collimation in neutron stars.

Findings

Quantum magnetic collapse can expel matter streams.

Self-generated magnetic fields aid in jet collimation.

Mechanism links quantum effects to astrophysical jet phenomena.

Abstract

We study a possible mechanism for astrophysical jet production from a neutron star composed by a partially bosonized npe-gas. We obtain that the expulsion of a stable stream of matter might be triggered by the quantum magnetic collapse of one or various components of the gas, while its collimation is due to the formation of a strong self-generated magnetic field.
