Testing the formation scenarios of binary neutron star systems with measurements of the neutron star moment of inertia
William G. Newton, Andrew W. Steiner, Kent Yagi
Two low mass neutron stars, J0737-3039B and the companion to J1756-2251, show strong evidence of being formed from the collapse of an ONeMg core in an electron capture supernova (E…
Observational constraints on neutron star crust-core coupling during glitches
William G. Newton, Sabrina Berger, Brynmor Haskell
We demonstrate that observations of glitches in the Vela pulsar can be used to investigate the strength of the crust-core coupling in a neutron star, and suggest that recovery from…
The cooling of the Cassiopeia A neutron star as a probe of the nuclear symmetry energy and nuclear pasta
William G. Newton, Kyleah Murphy, Joshua Hooker +1
X-ray observations of the neutron star in the Cas A supernova remnant over the past decade suggest the star is undergoing a rapid drop in surface temperature of …
Efficacy of crustal superfluid neutrons in pulsar glitch models
J. Hooker, W. G. Newton, Bao-An Li
In order to assess the ability of purely crust-driven glitch models to match the observed glitch activity in the Vela pulsar, we conduct a systematic analysis of the dependence of…
The nuclear symmetry energy, the inner crust, and global neutron star modeling
William G. Newton, Michael Gearheart, Josh Hooker +1
The structure and composition of the inner crust of neutron stars, as well as global stellar properties such as radius and moment of inertia, have been shown to correlate with para…
Sensitivity of the neutron star r-mode instability window to the density dependence of the nuclear symmetry energy
De-Hua Wen, W. G. Newton, Bao-An Li
Using a simple model of a neutron star with a perfectly rigid crust constructed and a set of crust and core equations of state that span the range of nuclear experimental uncertain…
