Modeling X-ray Bursting Neutron Star Atmospheres
Lourenzo Colleyn, Zach Medin, Alan Calder
We present a verification of a computational model, developed at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) for simulating radiation transfer in X-ray bursting neutron star atmosphe…
Model Atmospheres for X-ray Bursting Neutron Stars
Zach Medin, Marina von Steinkirch, Alan C. Calder +3
The hydrogen and helium accreted by X-ray bursting neutron stars is periodically consumed in runaway thermonuclear reactions that cause the entire surface to glow brightly in X-ray…
Probing the Crust of the Neutron Star in EXO 0748-676
N. Degenaar, Z. Medin, A. Cumming +7
X-ray observations of quiescent X-ray binaries have the potential to provide insight into the structure and the composition of neutron stars. EXO 0748-676 had been actively accreti…
Pair cascades in the magnetospheres of strongly-magnetized neutron stars
Zach Medin, Dong Lai
We present numerical simulations of electron-positron pair cascades in the magnetospheres of magnetic neutron stars for a wide range of surface fields (B_p = 10^{12}--10^{15} G), r…
