On a re-examination of neutron star cooling in transient sources -- No shallow heating required?
Martin Nava-Callejas, Yuri Cavecchi, Dany Page
Context: For the typical modeling of neutron stars cooling after an accretion episode in Low-Mass X-ray Binaries, an extra heating source of unknown physical origin, \textit{the sh…
Post-Supernova Accretion of Light Elements onto a New-Born Neutron Star and NS 1987A
Natalia de Jesús Baz-Pérez, Dany Page, Simon Guichandut +3
We model early accretion of light elements, He, C, and O, onto a new-born neutron star using the public stellar evolution code MESA, simulating what may happen during the first few…
A solution to the tension of burning on neutron stars and nuclear physics
Y. Cavecchi, D. Galloway, A. Heger +8
When neutron stars accrete matter from a companion star, this matter forms a disc around them and eventually falls on their surface. Here, the fuel can ignite into bright flashes c…
Thermonuclear Heating of Accreting Neutron Stars
Martin Nava-Callejas, Dany Page, Yuri Cavecchi
We describe a new method to incorporate thermonuclear heating in the envelope of accreting neutron star into long term simulations of their thermal evolution. We obtain boundary co…
The effect of opacity on neutron star Type I X-ray burst quenching
Martin Nava-Callejas, Yuri Cavecchi, Dany Page
One long standing tension between theory and observations of Type I X-ray burst is the accretion rate at which the burst disappear due to stabilization of the nuclear burning that…
Stationary neutron star envelopes at high accretion rates
Martin Nava-Callejas, Yuri Cavecchi, Dany Page
In this work we model stationary neutron star envelopes at high accretion rates and describe our new code for such studies. As a first step we put special emphasis on the rp-proces…
