Condensed Surfaces of Magnetic Neutron Stars, Thermal Surface Emission, and Particle Acceleration Above Pulsar Polar Caps
Zach Medin, Dong Lai
For sufficiently strong magnetic fields and/or low temperatures, the neutron star surface may be in a condensed state with little gas or plasma above it. Such surface condensation…

Radiative transitions of the helium atom in highly magnetized neutron star atmospheres
Zach Medin, Dong Lai, Alexander Y. Potekhin
Recent observations of thermally emitting isolated neutron stars revealed spectral features that could be interpreted as radiative transitions of He in a magnetized neutron star at…

Cohesive property of magnetized neutron star surfaces: Computations and implications
Zach Medin, Dong Lai
The cohesive energy of condensed matter in strong magnetic fields is a fundamental quantity characterizing magnetized neutron star surfaces. The cohesive energy refers to the energ…
