Crust composition and the Shallow Heat Source in KS 1731-260
R. Jain, E. F. Brown, H. Schatz +11
The presence of a strong shallow heat source of unknown origin in accreting neutron star crusts has been inferred by analyzing X-ray observations of their cooling in quiescence. We…
Impact of Pycnonuclear Fusion Uncertainties on the Cooling of Accreting Neutron Star Crusts
R. Jain, E. F. Brown, H. Schatz +11
The observation of X-rays during quiescence from transiently accreting neutron stars provides unique clues about the nature of dense matter. This, however, requires extensive model…
The Impact of Neutron Transfer Reactions on Heating and Cooling of Accreted Neutron Star Crusts
H. Schatz, Z. Meisel, E. F. Brown +10
Nuclear reactions heat and cool the crust of accreting neutron stars and need to be understood to interpret observations of X-ray bursts and of long-term cooling in transiently acc…
Nuclear Reactions in the Crusts of Accreting Neutron Stars
R. Lau, M. Beard, S. S. Gupta +13
X-ray observations of transiently accreting neutron stars during quiescence provide information about the structure of neutron star crusts and the properties of dense matter. Inter…
Strong neutrino cooling by cycles of electron capture and decay in neutron star crusts
Hendrik Schatz, Sanjib Gupta, Peter Möller +9
The temperature in the crust of an accreting neutron star, which comprises its outermost kilometer, is set by heating from nuclear reactions at large densities, neutrino cooling, a…
Time-of-flight mass measurements for nuclear processes in neutron star crusts
A. Estrade, M. Matos, H. Schatz +23
The location of electron capture heat sources in the crust of accreting neutron stars depends on the masses of extremely neutron-rich nuclei. We present first results from a new im…
