Problem Statement
Consider a rotating neutron star (a pulsar) with a mass ( M ) and radius ( R ), possessing a strong magnetic field characterized by a magnetic dipole moment ( \mu ). The neutron star rotates with angular velocity ( \omega ) about its axis of symmetry. Due to quantum vacuum polarization effects in the intense magnetic field, virtual particle-antiparticle pairs are created, leading to energy loss through magnetic dipole radiation and particle emission.

Assuming that the magnetic dipole moment ( \mu ) makes an angle ( \alpha ) with the rotation axis, derive the expression for the rate of change of the angular velocity ( \frac{d\omega}{dt} ) due to magnetic dipole radiation. Next, considering general relativistic corrections, incorporate the frame-dragging effect (Lense-Thirring precession) into the neutron star's rotational dynamics.

Furthermore, suppose that the neutron star is located near a strong gravitational field of a black hole of mass ( M_{\text{BH}} ) at a distance ( d ). Analyze how tidal forces and gravitational time dilation affect the neutron star's emission spectrum observed from a distant observer. Additionally, explore how the presence of a hypothetical axion field, as a candidate for dark matter, modifies the electromagnetic properties of the neutron star and influences the propagation of photons in its vicinity.

Solution
1. Magnetic Dipole Radiation and Angular Deceleration

Magnetic Dipole Radiation Power

The power radiated by a rotating magnetic dipole in free space is given by the classical formula:

[
P = \frac{\mu_0}{6\pi c^3} |\ddot{\mathbf{m}}|^2
]

where ( \mathbf{m} ) is the magnetic dipole moment vector, ( \mu_0 ) is the permeability of free space, and ( c ) is the speed of light.

Since the magnetic dipole moment is rotating, its second time derivative can be expressed as:

[
\ddot{\mathbf{m}} = -\omega^2 \mathbf{m}_\perp
]

where ( \mathbf{m}_\perp ) is the component of ( \mathbf{m} ) perpendicular to the rotation axis.

The magnitude of ( \ddot{\mathbf{m}} ) is:

[
|\ddot{\mathbf{m}}| = \omega^2 \mu \sin\alpha
]

So, the power radiated is:

[
P = \frac{\mu_0}{6\pi c^3} (\omega^2 \mu \sin\alpha)^2 = \frac{\mu_0 \omega^4 \mu^2 \sin^2\alpha}{6\pi c^3}
]

Angular Momentum Loss

The loss of rotational energy ( E_{\text{rot}} ) of the neutron star is:

[
E_{\text{rot}} = \frac{1}{2} I \omega^2
]

where ( I ) is the moment of inertia of the neutron star.

The rate of change of rotational energy is equal to the negative of the power radiated:

[
\frac{dE_{\text{rot}}}{dt} = -P
]

Substituting, we get:

[
\frac{d}{dt} \left( \frac{1}{2} I \omega^2 \right) = -\frac{\mu_0 \omega^4 \mu^2 \sin^2\alpha}{6\pi c^3}
]

Since ( I ) is constant (assuming uniform mass distribution and negligible deformation):

[
I \omega \frac{d\omega}{dt} = -\frac{\mu_0 \omega^4 \mu^2 \sin^2\alpha}{6\pi c^3}
]

Solving for ( \frac{d\omega}{dt} )

Rewriting the equation:

[
\frac{d\omega}{dt} = -\frac{\mu_0 \omega^3 \mu^2 \sin^2\alpha}{6\pi c^3 I}
]

This is the expression for the rate of change of angular velocity due to magnetic dipole radiation.

2. General Relativistic Corrections: Frame-Dragging (Lense-Thirring Effect)

In the context of general relativity, a rotating mass like a neutron star will drag spacetime around with it—this is known as frame-dragging or the Lense-Thirring effect.

Modified Moment of Inertia

The moment of inertia ( I ) in general relativity is modified due to spacetime curvature. For a neutron star, the general-relativistic moment of inertia can be approximated by (per Hartle):

[
I_{\text{GR}} = I_{\text{Newtonian}} \times \left(1 - \frac{2 G M}{c^2 R} + \cdots \right)
]

where ( G ) is the gravitational constant.

However, for precise calculations, one must solve the Einstein field equations with appropriate boundary conditions, often requiring numerical methods. For this problem, we acknowledge that ( I ) is reduced due to relativistic effects.

Lense-Thirring Precession

The angular velocity of frame-dragging ( \omega_{\text{LT}} ) is given by:

[
\omega_{\text{LT}} = \frac{2 G J}{c^2 r^3}
]

where ( J = I \omega ) is the angular momentum of the neutron star, and ( r ) is the radial coordinate from the neutron star's center.

This effect causes the inertial frames in the vicinity of the neutron star to rotate. However, since the neutron star's own rotation dominates its dynamics, the primary impact is on nearby particles and fields, rather than on the star's angular velocity itself.

Therefore, while frame-dragging affects the motion of particles and light near the neutron star, it doesn't significantly alter ( \frac{d\omega}{dt} ) for the star itself in this context.

3. Tidal Forces and Gravitational Time Dilation Near a Black Hole

Gravitational Potential Near a Black Hole

The potential due to the black hole is:

[
\Phi_{\text{BH}} = -\frac{G M_{\text{BH}}}{d}
]

Tidal Forces

The tidal acceleration over the neutron star of radius ( R ) is approximately:

[
a_{\text{tidal}} = \frac{2 G M_{\text{BH}} R}{d^3}
]

This tidal force can lead to deformation of the neutron star and could, in extreme cases, disrupt it if it approaches the Roche limit. However, assuming ( d ) is sufficiently large to neglect tidal deformation impacts on ( \omega(t) ), we focus on the effects on the emission spectrum.

Gravitational Time Dilation

The rate at which time passes near the neutron star (affected by both its own gravity and that of the black hole) is slower compared to a distant observer.

The gravitational redshift ( z ) due to the neutron star is:

[
z_{\text{NS}} = \left(1 - \frac{2 G M}{c^2 R} \right)^{-1/2} -1
]

Similarly, the additional redshift due to the black hole is:

[
z_{\text{BH}} = \left(1 - \frac{2 G M_{\text{BH}}}{c^2 d} \right)^{-1/2} -1
]

The total redshift observed at infinity is compounded:

[
1 + z_{\text{total}} = (1 + z_{\text{NS}})(1 + z_{\text{BH}})
]

Impact on Emission Spectrum

The observed frequency ( \nu_{\text{obs}} ) is redshifted:

[
\nu_{\text{obs}} = \frac{\nu_{\text{em}}}{1 + z_{\text{total}}}
]

The cumulative gravitational redshift leads to a lowering of the emitted frequencies as observed at infinity. Additionally, any time-dependent processes (like the rotation period) appear dilated.

4. Influence of a Hypothetical Axion Field

Axion Electrodynamics

Axions are pseudoscalar particles proposed as a solution to the strong CP problem in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and are candidates for dark matter.

The presence of an axion field ( a(x) ) modifies Maxwell's equations. The effective Lagrangian including axions is:

[
\mathcal{L} = -\frac{1}{4} F_{\mu\nu} F^{\mu\nu} + \frac{1}{2} \partial_\mu a \partial^\mu a - \frac{1}{2} m_a^2 a^2 - \frac{g_{a\gamma\gamma}}{4} a F_{\mu\nu} \tilde{F}^{\mu\nu}
]

where:

( F_{\mu\nu} ) is the electromagnetic field tensor.
( \tilde{F}^{\mu\nu} ) is its dual.
( g_{a\gamma\gamma} ) is the axion-photon coupling constant.
( m_a ) is the axion mass.
Modification of Electromagnetic Properties

The coupling between axions and photons leads to phenomena such as:

Photon-Axion Conversion: In strong magnetic fields, photons can convert into axions and vice versa.
Propagation Effects: The dispersion relations of photons are altered in the presence of an axion field.
Impact on Neutron Star's Electromagnetic Emission

The probability of photon-axion conversion in the magnetic field ( B ) over a distance ( L ) is given by:
[
P_{\gamma \rightarrow a} = \left( \frac{g_{a\gamma\gamma} B \sin\beta}{2} \right)^2 \frac{1}{\left( \Delta_\text{osc} \right)^2} \sin^2\left( \frac{\Delta_\text{osc} L}{2} \right)
]

where ( \beta ) is the angle between the photon propagation direction and the magnetic field, and ( \Delta_{\text{osc}} ) is the oscillation wave number difference between the photon and axion.

The presence of axions would reduce the number of high-energy photons observed, altering the emission spectrum.
Spectral Modifications: Observers might detect an unexplained attenuation in certain frequency ranges, or spectral features indicative of axion effects.
Influence on Spin-Down Rate

If axion emission becomes a significant energy loss mechanism, it would add to the total energy loss of the neutron star.
The new total power loss is:
[
P_{\text{total}} = P_{\text{dipole}} + P_{\text{axion}}
]

The additional power loss accelerates the spin-down rate:
[
\frac{d\omega}{dt} = -\frac{1}{I} \left( P_{\text{dipole}} + P_{\text{axion}} \right)
]

Precise calculation of ( P_{\text{axion}} ) would require detailed modeling of the neutron star's interior and magnetic field structure.
Conclusion
By deriving the rate of change of the angular velocity due to magnetic dipole radiation, we established the foundational understanding of the neutron star's spin-down. Incorporating general relativistic corrections, we acknowledged the significance of frame-dragging, even though its direct impact on ( \frac{d\omega}{dt} ) is minimal for the neutron star itself.

Analyzing the effects of a nearby black hole, we concluded that gravitational time dilation and tidal forces alter the observed emission spectrum and temporal characteristics of the neutron star's signals. Finally, considering the presence of a hypothetical axion field, we explored how new physics beyond the Standard Model could influence electromagnetic processes and the neutron star's rotational dynamics.

This comprehensive approach exemplifies how theoretical physics integrates classical electromagnetism, general relativity, astrophysics, and particle physics to deepen our understanding of complex astronomical objects and fundamental forces.
