Effect of Magnetic Fields on Urca Rates in Neutron Star Mergers
Pranjal Tambe, Debarati Chatterjee, Mark Alford +1
Isospin-equilibrating weak processes, called ``Urca" processes, are of fundamental importance in astrophysical environments like (proto-)neutron stars, neutron star mergers, and su…
Beyond modified Urca: the nucleon width approximation for flavor-changing processes in dense matter
Mark G. Alford, Alexander Haber, Ziyuan Zhang
Flavor-changing charged current ("Urca") processes are of central importance in the astrophysics of neutron stars. Standard calculations approximate the Urca rate as the sum of two…
Validity of a finite temperature expansion for dense nuclear matter
Debora Mroczek, Nanxi Yao, Katherine Zine +5
In this work we provide a new, well-controlled expansion of the equation of state of dense matter from zero to finite temperatures () while covering a wide range of charge fract…
