The Athena X-ray Integral Field Unit
Didier Barret, Thien Lam Trong, Jan-Willem den Herder +100
The X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU) is the high resolution X-ray spectrometer of the ESA Athena X-ray observatory. Over a field of view of 5' equivalent diameter, it will deliver…
PILOT: a balloon-borne experiment to measure the polarized FIR emission of dust grains in the interstellar medium
R. Misawa, J-Ph. Bernard, P. Ade +26
Future cosmology space missions will concentrate on measuring the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background, which potentially carries invaluable information about the earlie…
Dense astrophysical plasmas
G. Chabrier, F. Douchin, A. Y. Potekhin
We briefly examine the properties of dense plasmas characteristic of the atmospheres of neutron stars and of the interior of massive white dwarfs. These astrophysical bodies are na…
Equation of state of dense matter and the minimum mass of cold neutron stars
P. Haensel, J. L. Zdunik, F. Douchin
Equilibrium configurations of cold neutron stars near the minimum mass are studied, using the recent equation of state SLy, which describes in a unified, physically consistent mann…
Inner edge of neutron-star crust with SLy effective nucleon-nucleon interactions
F. Douchin, P. Haensel
The boundary between the solid crust, assumed to be in complete thermodynamic equilibrium (cold catalyzed matter), and the liquid core of a neutron star is studied using Skyrme SLy…
Bounds on the existence of neutron rich nuclei in neutron star interiors
F. Douchin, P. Haensel
We address the question concerning the maximum density, at which nuclei (and more generally -- nuclear structures) can exist in neutron star interiors. An absolute upper bound to s…
