Abstract

In this paper we consider dissipative effects by viscous friction of differentially rotating visco-polytropic models that are further distorted by a toroidal magnetic field. In particular, we study numerically rotating visco-magnetopolytropes by implementing the so-called “complex-plane iterative technique” (CIT), developed by the first author and used in the recent past for computing rotating models of polytropes and white dwarfs. We emphasize on dissipative effects and discuss some interesting scenarios concerning coupling of a magnetic star with its environment.
