thermodynamics of one-component plasma for astrophysics of white dwarfs and neutron stars
D. A. Baiko, A. I. Chugunov
Using path-integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) simulations, we have calculated energy of a crystal composed of atomic nuclei and uniform incompressible electron background in the temperatu…
Nonequilibrium thermodynamics of accreted neutron-star crust
Mikhail E. Gusakov, Elena M. Kantor, Andrey I. Chugunov
We show that, in order to determine the equation of state of the inner crust of an accreting neutron star, one should minimize not the Gibbs free energy, as it is generally assumed…
Deep crustal heating for realistic compositions of thermonuclear ashes
Nikolay N. Shchechilin, Mikhail E. Gusakov, Andrey I. Chugunov
The deep crustal heating, associated with exothermal nuclear reactions, is believed to be a key parameter for describing the thermal evolution of accreting neutron stars. In this p…
