Precise Determination of Minimum Achievable Temperature for Solid-State Optical Refrigeration
Denis V. Seletskiy, Seth D. Melgaard, Richard I. Epstein +3
We measure the minimum achievable temperature (MAT) as a function of excitation wavelength in anti-Stokes fluorescence cooling of high purity Yb3+-doped LiYF4 (Yb:YLF) crystal. Suc…
Thermo-Resistive Instability in Magnetar Crusts
Steven Price, Bennett Link, Richard I. Epstein +1
We investigate a thermo-resistive instability in the outer crusts of magnetars wherein a perturbation in temperature increases ohmic heating. We show that magnetars of characterist…
Precession Interpretation of the Isolated Pulsar PSR B1828-11
Bennett Link, Richard I. Epstein
Pulse timing of the isolated pulsar PSR B1882-11 shows strong Fourier power at periods ~1000, 500 and 250 d, correlated with changes in the pulse profile (Stairs, Lyne & Shemar 200…
Starquake-Induced Glitches in Pulsars
Richard I. Epstein, Bennett Link
The neutron star crust is rigid material floating on a neutron-proton liquid core. As the star's spin rate slows, the changing stellar shape stresses the crust and causes fractures…
Probing the Neutron Star Interior with Glitches
Bennett Link, Richard I. Epstein, James M. Lattimer
With the aim of constraining the structural properties of neutron stars and the equation of state of dense matter, we study sudden spin-ups, glitches, occurring in the Vela pulsar…
Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays from Young Neutron Star Winds
P. Blasi, R. I. Epstein, A. V. Olinto
The long-held notion that the highest-energy cosmic rays are of distant extragalactic origin is challenged by observations that events above eV do not exhibit the ex…
