Global Magnetohydrodynamic Simulations of Monster Shocks in Neutron Star Magnetospheres
Global 2D MHD simulations reach the asymptotic monster-shock regime in a neutron-star dipole and show that wrinkled magnetic fields fragment the shock, lower the effective magnetization, and produce intermittent secondary shocks.
