On a re-examination of neutron star cooling in transient sources -- No shallow heating required?
Martin Nava-Callejas, Yuri Cavecchi, Dany Page
Context: For the typical modeling of neutron stars cooling after an accretion episode in Low-Mass X-ray Binaries, an extra heating source of unknown physical origin, \textit{the sh…

Post-Supernova Accretion of Light Elements onto a New-Born Neutron Star and NS 1987A
Natalia de Jesús Baz-Pérez, Dany Page, Simon Guichandut +3
We model early accretion of light elements, He, C, and O, onto a new-born neutron star using the public stellar evolution code MESA, simulating what may happen during the first few…

Thermonuclear Heating of Accreting Neutron Stars
Martin Nava-Callejas, Dany Page, Yuri Cavecchi
We describe a new method to incorporate thermonuclear heating in the envelope of accreting neutron star into long term simulations of their thermal evolution. We obtain boundary co…
