Neutron transfer reactions in accreting neutron stars
Andrey I. Chugunov
I suggest a novel type of nuclear reactions in accreting neutron stars - neutron transfer, which is quantum tunneling of weakly bounded neutron from one nucleus to another. I estim…
Long term evolution of CFS-unstable neutron stars and role of differential rotation on short time-scales
Andrey I. Chugunov
I consider differential rotation, associated with radiation-driven Chandrasekhar-Friedman-Schutz (CFS) instability and its possible observational evidences. I focus on the evolutio…
Breaking properties of neutron star crust
D. A. Baiko, A. I. Chugunov
The strength of neutron star crust is crucial for modelling magnetar flares, pulsar glitches and gravitational wave emission. We aim to shed some light on this problem by analysing…
Screening of fusion reactions from the principle of detailed balance and application to the reaction
Doron Kushnir, Eli Waxman, Andrey I. Chugunov
Dewitt et al. (1973) derived a useful relation between the plasma screening factor for a reaction of two fusing ions and their chemical potentials, based on the plasma pair distrib…
