Influence of Magnetic Field Decay on Electron Capture in Magnetars
arXiv:1309.3782 · doi:10.1007/s12036-014-9289-6
Abstract
The de-excited energy of electron capture (EC) induced by magnetic field decay may be a new source for heating magnetar crust, so we do a quantitative calculation on the EC process near the outer crust and analyze their influence on persistent X-ray radiation of magnetars, adopting the experimental data or the results of theoretical model (including the large-scale shell model and quasi-particle random phase approximation).
