Zusammenfassung: | Our consistent effort to unravel the mystery of super-Chandrasekhar white
dwarfs (WDs), by exploiting the potential of magnetic fields, has brought this
topic considerable attention. This is also evident from the recent surge in the
corresponding literature. In the present work, by means of full-scale general
relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) numerical analysis, we confirm the
existence of stable, highly magnetized, significantly super-Chandrasekhar WDs
having mass exceeding 3 solar mass. We have explored various possible field
configurations, namely, poloidal, toroidal and mixed, by self-consistently
incorporating the departure from spherical symmetry induced by a strong
magnetic field. Such super-Chandrasekhar WDs can be ideal progenitors of
peculiar, over-luminous type Ia supernovae. |
