Neutron Star SHOWCASE

What you are seeing: a rotating 1.4 M_sun neutron star rendered through five modes (Overview, Lighthouse, Magnetar, Structure, Spindown). The same NS object is shared across modes so you build one mental model of the second-most-extreme object in the universe. Drag the canvas to orbit the camera, scroll to zoom

Figure 1. Neutron Star, mode-switchable laboratory. Method: 3D Canvas2D depth-sorted sphere + magnetic-dipole field-line geometry + Gaussian beam pulse profile + parametric SLy/APR/FPS mass-radius curves + classical magnetic-dipole spindown + magnetar-flare profile + vortex-unpinning glitch.

WHAT TO TRY

  • Vary each control and watch the rail readouts respond.
  • Compare the diagnostic plot against the live scene.
