Detailed Timing, Spectral, and Polarimetric Analysis of Magnetar 1RXS J170849.0-400910

Rachael Stewart, George Younes, Alice Harding +5

We present a broadband timing, spectral, and polarimetric study of the magnetar 1RXS~J170849.0-400910 using XMM-Newton, NuSTAR, and IXPE. The pulse morphology evolves strongly acro…

Magnetar Fireballs and Short Bursts: Curved Spacetime Lensing, QED Effects, Spectra, Polarization, and Impulse Responses

Zorawar Wadiasingh, Hoa Dinh Thi, Constantinos Kalapotharakos +12

Magnetar short bursts (SBs) are hard X-ray transients of durations s peaking at keV, and are prime targets for new high-energy missions and polarimeters. The…

Timing and Spectral Evolution of the Magnetar 1E 1841-045 in Outburst

G. Younes, S. K. Lander, M. G. Baring +19

We present the timing and spectral analyses of the NICER, NuSTAR, and IXPE observations of the magnetar 1E 1841-045 covering 82 days following its August 2024 bursting activity as…

X-ray polarization of the magnetar 1E 1841-045

Rachael Stewart, George A. Younes, Alice K. Harding +15

We report on IXPE and NuSTAR observations beginning forty days after the 2024 outburst onset of magnetar 1E 1841-045, marking the first IXPE observation of a magnetar in an enhance…

Pulsed and Polarized X-ray Emission from Neutron Star Surfaces

Matthew G. Baring, Hoa Dinh Thi, George A. Younes +1

The intense magnetic fields of neutron stars naturally lead to strong anisotropy and polarization of radiation emanating from their surfaces, both being sensitive to the hot spot p…

Inference of neutron-star properties with unified crust-core equations of state for parameter estimation

P. J. Davis, H. Dinh Thi, A. F. Fantina +3

Relating different global neutron-star (NS) properties, such as tidal deformability and radius, or mass and radius, requires an equation of state (EoS). Determining the NS EoS is t…

Light clusters in the liquid proto-neutron star inner crust

H. Dinh Thi, A. F. Fantina, F. Gulminelli

Being born hot from core-collapse supernova, the crust of the proto-neutron star is expected to be made of a Coulomb liquid and composed of an ensemble of different nuclear species…

The proto-neutron star inner crust in a multi-component plasma approach

H. Dinh Thi, A. F. Fantina, F. Gulminelli

Proto-neutron stars (PNS) are born hot, with temperatures exceeding a few times K. In these conditions, the PNS crust is expected to be made of a Coulomb liquid composed…

The proto-neutron star inner crust in the liquid phase

H. Dinh Thi, A. F. Fantina, F. Gulminelli

The crust of a neutron star is known to melt at a temperature that increases with increasing matter density, up to about K. At such high temperatures and beyond, the crus…

Confronting the nucleonic hypothesis with current neutron star observations from GW170817 and PSR J0740+6620

Hoa Dinh Thi, Chiranjib Mondal, Francesca Gulminelli

The nuclear matter equation of state is relatively well constrained at sub-saturation densities thanks to the knowledge from nuclear physics. However, studying its behavior at supr…

Properties of pasta phases in catalyzed neutron stars

H. Dinh Thi, A. F. Fantina, F. Gulminelli

Exotic non-spherical configurations of nuclei, known as ``pasta" phases, are expected to be present at the bottom of the inner crust of a neutron star. We study the properties of t…

Uncertainties in the pasta-phase properties of catalysed neutron stars

H. Dinh Thi, T. Carreau, A. F. Fantina +1

The interior of a neutron star is expected to exhibit different states of matter. In particular, complex non-spherical configurations known as `pasta' phases may exist at the highe…

The nuclear matter density functional under the nucleonic hypothesis

Hoa Dinh Thi, Chiranjib Mondal, Francesca Gulminelli

A Bayesian analysis of the possible behaviors of the dense matter equation of state informed through recent LIGO-Virgo as well as NICER measurements reveals that all the present ob…
