Neutron star envelopes and thermal radiation from the magnetic surface
J. Ventura, A. Y. Potekhin
The thermal structure of neutron star envelopes is discussed with emphasis on analytic results. Recent progress on the effect of chemical constitution and high magnetic fields on t…

Equation of state and opacities for hydrogen atmospheres of strongly magnetized cooling neutron stars
A. Y. Potekhin, Yu. A. Shibanov, J. Ventura
We study partially ionized hydrogen plasma at temperatures T = 10^{5.5}-10^{6.5} K and magnetic fields B = 10^{12}-10^{13} G, typical of photospheres of isolated neutron stars. We…
