Compositionally-driven convection in the oceans of accreting neutron stars
Zach Medin, Andrew Cumming
We discuss the effect of chemical separation as matter freezes at the base of the ocean of an accreting neutron star, and argue that the retention of light elements in the liquid a…

Crystallization of classical multi-component plasmas
Zach Medin, Andrew Cumming
We develop a method for calculating the equilibrium properties of the liquid-solid phase transition in a classical, ideal, multi-component plasma. Our method is a semi-analytic cal…

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…
