Magnetothermal evolution of neutron star cores in the `weak-coupling' regime: implications of ambipolar diffusion for the quiescent X-ray luminosity of magnetars
N. A. Moraga, F. Castillo, D. D. Ofengeim +5
The high quiescent X-ray luminosity observed in some magnetars is widely attributed to the decay and evolution of their ultra-strong magnetic fields. Several dissipation mechanisms…
Cooling of neutron stars in soft X-ray transients with realistic crust composition
A. Y. Potekhin, A. I. Chugunov, N. N. Shchechilin +1
Thermal radiation of neutron stars in soft X-ray transients (SXTs) in a quiescent state is believed to be powered by the heat deposited in the stellar crust due to nuclear reaction…
On variational trial functions in the extended Thomas-Fermi method
A. Y. Potekhin, A. I. Chugunov, N. N. Shchechilin +1
Parametrized nucleon density distributions are widely employed for the calculation of the properties of atomic nuclei and dense inhomogeneous matter in compact stars within the Tho…
Atmospheres and radiating surfaces of neutron stars
A. Y. Potekhin
The early 21st century witnesses a dramatic rise in the study of thermal radiation of neutron stars. Modern space telescopes have provided a wealth of valuable information which, w…
The physics of neutron stars
A. Y. Potekhin
Topical problems in the physics of and basic facts about neutron stars are reviewed. The observational manifestations of neutron stars, their core and envelope structure, magnetic…
