Gapless neutron superfluidity in the crust of the accreting neutron stars KS 1731-260 and MXB 1659-29

Valentin Allard, Nicolas Chamel

The interpretation of the thermal evolution of the transiently accreting neutron stars MXB 1659-29 and KS 1731-260 after an outburst is challenging, both within the traditional dee…

Gapless superfluidity in neutron stars: Normal-fluid fraction

Valentin Allard, Nicolas Chamel

Our previous investigation within the time-dependent nuclear energy-density functional theory showed that the nuclear superfluids contained inside cold neutron stars could become g…

Gapless superfluidity in neutron stars: Thermal properties

Valentin Allard, Nicolas Chamel

The interior of mature neutron stars is expected to contain superfluid neutrons and superconducting protons. The influence of temperature and currents on superfluid properties is s…

Gapless neutron superfluidity can explain the late time cooling of transiently accreting neutron stars

Valentin Allard, Nicolas Chamel

The current interpretation of the observed late time cooling of transiently accreting neutron stars in low-mass X-ray binaries during quiescence requires the suppression of neutron…

Entrainment effects in neutron-proton mixtures within the nuclear-energy density functional theory. I. Low-temperature limit

Nicolas Chamel, Valentin Allard

Mutual entrainment effects in cold neutron-proton mixtures are studied in the framework of the self-consistent nuclear energy-density functional theory. Exact expressions for the m…

Entrainment effects in neutron-proton mixtures within the nuclear-energy density functional theory. II. Finite temperatures and arbitrary currents

Valentin Allard, Nicolas Chamel

Mutual entrainment effects in hot neutron-proton superfluid mixtures are studied in the framework of the self-consistent nuclear energy-density functional theory. The local mass cu…
