Cooling of neutron stars in soft X-ray transients with realistic crust composition
A. Y. Potekhin, A. I. Chugunov, N. N. Shchechilin +1
Thermal radiation of neutron stars in soft X-ray transients (SXTs) in a quiescent state is believed to be powered by the heat deposited in the stellar crust due to nuclear reaction…

Role of neutron pairing with density-gradient dependence in the semi-microscopic treatment of the inner crust of neutron stars
Nicolas Chamel, John-Michael Pearson, Nikolay N. Shchechilin
Using the fourth-order extended Thomas-Fermi method with Strutinsky-integral shell and pairing corrections, we calculate the inner crust of neutron stars with the BSk31 functional,…
