The Shear Viscosity and Thermal Conductivity of Nuclear Pasta
C. J. Horowitz, D. K. Berry
We calculate the shear viscosity and thermal conductivity of a nuclear pasta phase in neutron star crusts. This involves complex non-spherical shapes. We use semiclassical…

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…

Phase separation in the crust of accreting neutron stars
C. J. Horowitz, D. K. Berry, E. F. Brown
Nucleosynthesis, on the surface of accreting neutron stars, produces a range of chemical elements. We perform molecular dynamics simulations of crystallization to see how this comp…
