Spatial Structure and Collisionless Electron Heating in Balmer-dominated Shocks
Matthew van Adelsberg, Kevin Heng, Richard McCray +1
Balmer-dominated shocks in supernova remnants (SNRs) produce strong hydrogen lines with a two-component profile composed of a narrow contribution from cold upstream hydrogen atoms,…
The Transition Zone in Balmer-Dominated Shocks
Kevin Heng, Matthew van Adelsberg, Richard McCray +1
We examine the structure of the post-shock region in supernova remnants (SNRs). The ``shock transition zone'' is set up by charge transfer and ionization events between atoms and i…
Radiation from condensed surface of magnetic neutron stars
Matthew van Adelsberg, Dong Lai, Alexander Y. Potekhin +1
Recent observations show that the thermal X-ray spectra of many isolated neutron stars are featureless and in some cases (e.g., RX J1856.5-3754) well fit by a blackbody. Such a per…
