Systematic analysis of inner crust composition using the extended Thomas-Fermi approximation with pairing correlations
Matthew Shelley, Alessandro Pastore
We perform a systematic investigation of the chemical composition of the inner crust of a neutron star, using the extended Thomas-Fermi approximation, the Strutinsky integral corre…
A new mass model for nuclear astrophysics: crossing 200 keV accuracy
M. Shelley, A. Pastore
By using a machine learning algorithms, we present an improved nuclear mass table with a root mean square deviation of less than keV. The model is equipped with statistical er…
Comparison between the Thomas-Fermi and Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov Methods in the Inner Crust of a Neutron Star: The Role of Pairing Correlations
Matthew Shelley, Alessandro Pastore
We investigated the role of a pairing correlation in the chemical composition of the inner crust of a neutron star with the extended Thomas-Fermi method, using the Strutinsky integ…
How accurately can the Extended Thomas-Fermi method describe the inner crust of a neutron star?
Matthew Shelley, Alessandro Pastore
We perform a systematic comparison between the results obtained by solving fully self-consistently the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov equations, and those obtained using the semi-classica…
Advanced statistical methods to fit nuclear models
M. Shelley, P. Becker, A. Gration +1
We discuss advanced statistical methods to improve parameter estimation of nuclear models. In particular, using the Liquid Drop Model for nuclear binding energies, we show that the…
A survey for variable young stars with small telescopes: First results from HOYS-CAPS
D. Froebrich, J. Campbell-White, A. Scholz +15
Variability in Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) is one of their primary characteristics. Long-term, multi-filter, high-cadence monitoring of large YSO samples is the key to understand…
A new statistical method for the structure of the inner crust of neutron stars
A. Pastore, M. Shelley, S. Baroni +1
We investigated the structure of the low density regions of the inner crust of neutron stars using the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) model to predict the proton content of the…
Binding Blocks: building the Universe one nucleus at the time
C. Aa. Diget, A. Pastore, K. Leech +8
We present a new teaching and outreach activity based around the construction of a three-dimensional chart of isotopes using LEGO bricks. The activity, \emph{Binding…
