On the impact of the carbon fusion rate over the properties of superbursts -- Numerical simulations of superbursts with MESA
Martin Nava-Callejas, Stéphane Goriely, Nicolas Chamel
Context: Superbursts are very energetic explosions in the crust of neutron stars in Low-Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs). These are triggered by unstable carbon burning at $T\leq 10^{9}…
Internal constitution of the outer crust of non-accreted neutron stars and magnetars
Juliette Servais, Nicolas Chamel
Context. Determining the internal constitution of the outer crust of magnetars is important for interpreting several of their astrophysical manifestations. In particular, the crust…
Superfluid fraction and effective ion mass in the crystalline crust of a neutron star: role of interband response
Nicolas Chamel
Neutron superfluidity in the inner crust of a neutron star is further investigated, focusing on the role of the interband response in the superfluid fraction and the effective mass…
Superfluid fraction in the crystalline crust of a neutron star: role of quantum zero-point motion of ions
Nicolas Chamel
The suppression of the neutron superfluid fraction in the inner crust of a cold neutron star is mitigated by the quantum zero-point motion of ions about their equilibrium position.…
Tidal deformations of general-relativistic multifluid compact stars
Ethan Carlier, Nicolas Chamel
Over the past decade, gravitational-wave astronomy has opened a new window onto the extreme states of matter inside compact stars. At some point during the inspiral of a binary sys…
Roadmap for warm dense matter physics
Jan Vorberger, Frank Graziani, David Riley +71
This roadmap presents the state-of-the-art, current challenges and near future developments anticipated in the thriving field of warm dense matter physics. Originating from strongl…
