Abstract

The formation of neutron stars in the closest binary systems (P orb<12 h) gives the young neutron star/pulsar a high rotational velocity and energy. The presence of a magnetic field of 3×1011–3×1013 G, as is observed for radio pulsars, enables the neutron star to transfer ∼1051 erg of its rotational energy to the envelope over a time scale of less than an hour, leading to a magnetorotational supernova explosion. Estimates indicate that about 30% of all type-Ib,c supernovae may be the products of magnetorotational explosions. Young pulsars produced by such supernovae should exhibit comparatively slow rotation (P rot>0.01 s), since a large fraction of their rotational angular momentum is lost during the explosion. The magnetorotational mechanism for the ejection of the envelope is also reflected by the shape of the envelope. It is possible that the Crab radio pulsar is an example of a product of a magnetorotational supernova. A possible scenario for the formation of the close binary radio pulsar discovered recently by Lyne et al. is considered.
