Shear Viscosity of the outer crust of Neutron stars: Ion Contribution
O. L. Caballero, S. Postnikov, C. J. Horowitz +1
The shear viscosity of the crust might have a damping effect on the amplitude of r-modes of rotating neutron stars. This damping has implications for the emission of gravitational…
Fusion of neutron rich oxygen isotopes in the crust of accreting neutron stars
C. J. Horowitz, H. Dussan, D. K. Berry
Fusion reactions in the crust of an accreting neutron star are an important source of heat, and the depth at which these reactions occur is important for determining the temperatur…
Nonuniform Neutron-Rich Matter and Coherent Neutrino Scattering
C. J. Horowitz, M. A. Perez-Garcia, J. Carriere +2
Nonuniform neutron-rich matter present in both core-collapse supernovae and neutron-star crusts is described in terms of a semiclassical model that reproduces nuclear-matter proper…
Neutrino-pasta scattering: the opacity of nonuniform neutron-rich matter
C. J. Horowitz, M. A. Perez-Garcia, J. Piekarewicz
Neutron-rich matter at subnuclear densities may involve complex structures displaying a variety of shapes, such as spherical, slablike, and/or rodlike shapes. These phases of the {…
Realistic Neutrino Opacities for Supernova Simulations With Correlations and Weak Magnetism
C. J. Horowitz, M. A. Perez-Garcia
Advances in neutrino transport allow realistic neutrino interactions to be incorporated into supernova simulations. We add tensor couplings to relativistic RPA calculations of neut…
