Domains and defects in nuclear "pasta"
Andre da Silva Schneider, Matt E. Caplan, Don K. Berry +1
Nuclear pasta topology is an essential ingredient to determine transport properties in the inner crust of neutron stars. We perform semi-classical molecular dynamics simulations of…
Polycrystalline Crusts in Accreting Neutron Stars
M. E. Caplan, Andrew Cumming, D. K. Berry +2
The crust of accreting neutron stars plays a central role in many different observational phenomena. In these stars, heavy elements produced by H-He burning in the rapid proton cap…
Simulating the Novel Phase Separation of a Rapid Proton Capture Ash Composition
M. E. Caplan, D. K. Berry, C. J. Horowitz +2
Nucleosynthesis in the oceans of accreting neutron stars can produce novel mixtures of nuclides, whose composition is dependent on the exact astrophysical conditions. Many simulati…
Nuclear pasta and supernova neutrinos at late times
C. J. Horowitz, D. K. Berry, M. E. Caplan +5
Nuclear pasta, with nucleons arranged into tubes, sheets, or other complex shapes, is expected in core collapse supernovae (SNe) at just below nuclear density. We calculate the add…
Effect of topological defects on "nuclear pasta" observables
A. S. Schneider, D. K. Berry, M. E. Caplan +2
[Background] The "pasta" phase of nuclear matter may play an important role in the structure and evolution of neutron stars. Recent works suggest nuclear pasta has a high resistivi…
Parking-garage structures in astrophysics and biophysics
C. J. Horowitz, D. K. Berry, M. E. Caplan +2
A striking shape was recently observed for the cellular organelle endoplasmic reticulum consisting of stacked sheets connected by helical ramps. This shape is interesting both for…
