Axion condensates in neutron stars and radial oscillation modes

Antonio Gómez-Bañón, Pantelis Pnigouras, José A. Pons

Light QCD axions, introduced to solve the strong CP problem, may form condensates inside neutron stars, giving rise to a novel ground state of dense matter. We investigate how such…

Magnetar Outburst Models with Cooling Simulations

D. De Grandis, N. Rea, K. Kovlakas +6

Magnetar outbursts are among the most noteworthy manifestations of magnetism in neutron stars. They are episodes in which the X-ray luminosity of a strongly magnetised neutron star…

On the Origin of Magnetar Fields: Chiral Magnetic Instability in Neutron Star Crusts

Clara Dehman, José A. Pons

We investigate the chiral magnetic instability in the crust of a neutron star as a potential mechanism for amplifying magnetic fields. This instability may become active when small…

3D code for MAgneto-Thermal evolution in Isolated Neutron Stars, MATINS: thermal evolution and lightcurves

Stefano Ascenzi, Daniele Viganò, Clara Dehman +3

The thermal evolution of isolated neutron stars is a key element in unraveling their internal structure and composition and establishing evolutionary connections among different ob…

Analyzing the Galactic pulsar distribution with machine learning

Michele Ronchi, Vanessa Graber, Alberto Garcia-Garcia +2

We explore the possibility of inferring the properties of the Galactic neutron star population through machine learning. In particular, in this paper we focus on their dynamical ch…

The X-ray outburst of the Galactic Center magnetar over six years of Chandra observations

N. Rea, F. Coti Zelati, D. Vigano' +16

The magnetar SGR J1745-2900 discovered at parsecs distance from the Milky Way central black hole, Sagittarius A*, represents the closest pulsar to a supermassive black hole ever de…
