Ruling out nucleonic direct Urca cooling in low-mass neutron stars using nuclear data

Gabriele Montefusco, Pietro Klausner, Marco Antonelli +3

Connecting nuclear experiments to neutron star composition requires controlling the extrapolation of experimental information beyond the densities probed in the laboratory. We comb…

Fluxtube Bouquets and Type-1.5 Clustering in Superfluid Neutron Star Cores

Adarsh Karekkat, Gabriele Montefusco, Marco Antonelli

We study mesoscopic configurations of a neutron superfluid coupled to a proton superconductor in the outer core of a neutron star. The condensates are described by a two-component…

Emulator-Assisted Nuclear DFT Inference and Its Consequences for the Structure of Neutron Stars

Pietro Klausner, Marco Antonelli, Gianluca Colò +3

Nuclear density functional theory provides a unified description of finite nuclei and bulk nuclear matter, and is widely used to model the neutron star equation of state. However,…

An Asymptotically Causal Metamodel for Neutron Star Equations of State

Gabriele Montefusco, Marco Antonelli, Francesca Gulminelli

Nuclear metamodels - phenomenological parametrizations of the energy of nuclear matter - are convenient tools to explore the space of realistic neutron star configurations constrai…

Bayesian inference of neutron star crust properties using an ab initio-benchmarked meta-model

S. Burrello, F. Gulminelli, M. Antonelli +2

Accurate modeling of the neutron star crust is essential for interpreting multimessenger observations and constraining the nuclear equation of state (EoS). However, standard phenom…

Properties of the neutron star crust informed by nuclear structure data

Pietro Klausner, Marco Antonelli, Francesca Gulminelli

We perform a Bayesian analysis of the neutron star (NS) equation of state (EoS) based on a wide set of Skyrme functionals, derived from previous nuclear physics inferences. The nov…

Role of the Meson in the Equation of State an Direct Urca Cooling of Neutron Stars

Luigi Scurto, Helena Pais, Marco Antonelli +1

The direct Urca (dUrca) process is a key mechanism driving rapid neutrino cooling in neutron stars, with its baryon density activation threshold determined by the microscopic model…

Frozen and -equilibrated and modes of cold neutron stars: nuclear metamodel predictions

Gabriele Montefusco, Marco Antonelli, Francesca Gulminelli

When the chemical re-equilibration timescale is sufficiently long, the normal and quasi-normal mode frequencies of neutron stars should be calculated in the idealized limit that th…
