论文摘要
中子恒星骨折的弹性外壳在电磁上旋转时反复。基于细胞自动机，提出了一种理想化的，不均匀的地壳失效的宏观模型，其最接近的邻近构造相互作用涉及应变重新分布和热耗散。预测是对故障事件的大小和等待时间分布的预测，以及随着恒星旋转的速度。最后一个故障事件通常发生在恒星旋转至其出生频率的大约1％，对旋转故障活动的影响。通常建议中子星作为连续重力波的来源。自动机的输出被转化为恒星的质量椭圆率和重力波应变的预测，作为其年龄的功能，对未来观测的影响，例如激光干涉仪重力引力波动台（LIGO），处女座干涉仪或Kamioka Gravitation Waverational Wave Waber检测器（Kagra）。
The elastic crust of a neutron star fractures repeatedly as it spins down electromagnetically. An idealised, macroscopic model of inhomogeneous crustal failure is presented based on a cellular automaton with nearest-neighbour tectonic interactions involving strain redistribution and thermal dissipation. Predictions are made of the size and waiting-time distributions of failure events, as well as the rate of failure as the star spins down. The last failure event typically occurs when the star spins down to approximately 1% of its birth frequency with implications for rotational glitch activity. Neutron stars are commonly suggested as sources of continuous gravitational waves. The output of the automaton is converted into predictions of the star's mass ellipticity and gravitational wave strain as functions of its age, with implications for future observations with instruments such as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO), the Virgo interferometer, or the Kamioka Gravitational Wave Detector (KAGRA).
