Elasticity of neutron star mantle: improved compressible liquid drop model for cylindrical phases
Nikita A. Zemlyakov, Andrey I. Chugunov
Neutron stars are the densest objects in the Universe. They have microscopically homogeneous core and heterogeneous crust. In particular, there may be a specific layer inside neutr…
Accreting neutron stars: composition of the upper layers of the inner crust
Nikolay N. Shchechilin, Mikhail E. Gusakov, Andrey I. Chugunov
We model the nuclear evolution of an accreted matter as it sinks toward the stellar center, in order to find its composition and equation of state. To this aim, we developed a simp…
Thermal evolution of neutron stars in soft X-ray transients with thermodynamically consistent models of the accreted crust
A. Y. Potekhin, M. E. Gusakov, A. I. Chugunov
Thermal emission of neutron stars in soft X-ray transients (SXTs) in a quiescent state is believed to be powered by the heat deposited in the stellar crust due to nuclear reactions…
