Maximal Mass Neutron Star as a Key to Superdense Matter Physics
D. D. Ofengeim, P. S. Shternin, T. Piran
We propose a universal approximation of the equation of state of superdense matter in neutron star (NS) interiors. It contains only two parameters, the pressure and the density at…
The Impact of Neutron Transfer Reactions on Heating and Cooling of Accreted Neutron Star Crusts
H. Schatz, Z. Meisel, E. F. Brown +10
Nuclear reactions heat and cool the crust of accreting neutron stars and need to be understood to interpret observations of X-ray bursts and of long-term cooling in transiently acc…
Self-similarity relations for cooling superfluid neutron stars
P. S. Shternin, D. G. Yakovlev
We consider models of cooling neutron stars with nucleon cores which possess moderately strong triplet-state superfluidity of neutrons. When the internal temperature drops below th…
Neutron degeneracy and plasma physics effects on radiative neutron captures in neutron star crust
P. S. Shternin, M. Beard, M. Wiescher +1
We consider the astrophysical reaction rates for radiative neutron capture reactions () in the crust of a neutron star. The presence of degenerate neutrons at high densities (…
Plasma cutoff and enhancement of radiative transitions in dense stellar matter
P. S. Shternin, D. G. Yakovlev
We study plasma effects on radiative transitions (e.g., decay of excited states of atoms or atomic nuclei) in a dense plasma at the transition frequencies (where $ω…
Shear viscosity in neutron star cores
P. S. Shternin, D. G. Yakovlev
We calculate the shear viscosity in a neutron star core composed of nucleons, electrons and muons ( being the electron-muon viscosity, mediated by collisi…
