Constraining twin stars with cold neutron star cooling data
Melissa Mendes, Jan-Erik Christian, Farrukh J. Fattoyev +1
We investigate the influence of a phase transition from hadronic matter to a deconfined quark phase inside a neutron star on its cooling behaviour including the appearance of twin…
Fast neutrino cooling in the accreting neutron star MXB 1659-29
Melissa Mendes, Farrukh J. Fattoyev, Andrew Cumming +1
Modelling of crust heating and cooling across multiple accretion outbursts of the low mass X-ray binary MXB 1659-29 indicates that the neutrino luminosity of the neutron star core…
Probing dense matter physics with transiently-accreting neutron stars: the case of source MXB 1659-29
Melissa Mendes, Farrukh J. Fattoyev, Andrew Cumming +1
Recent observational data on transiently-accreting neutron stars has unequivocally shown fast-cooling sources, such as in the case of neutron star MXB 1659-29. Previous calculation…
A quark-gluon plasma inspired model of the universe: Introduction and Inflation
Melissa Mendes, Giorgio Torrieri
We explain how a gauge theory, decoupled from the standard model and with a high-lying strong coupling scale, can incorporate apparently unrelated cosmological features,…
