Crystallization of the inner crust of a neutron star and the influence of shell effects
T. Carreau, F. Gulminelli, N. Chamel +2
Context. In the cooling process of a non-accreting neutron star, the composition and properties of the crust are thought to be fixed at the finite temperature where nuclear reactio…
Analytical representations of unified equations of state for neutron-star matter
A. Y. Potekhin, A. F. Fantina, N. Chamel +2
Context. A unified equation of state (EoS) should describe the crust and the core of a neutron star using the same physical model. The Brussels-Montreal group has recently derived…
An extended equation of state for core-collapse simulations
M. Oertel, A. F. Fantina, J. Novak
In stellar core-collapse events matter is heated and compressed to densities above nuclear matter saturation density. For progenitors stars with masses above about 25 solar masses,…
Masses of neutron stars and nuclei
N. Chamel, A. F. Fantina, J. M. Pearson +1
We calculate the maximum mass of neutron stars for three different equations of state (EOS) based on generalized Skyrme functionals that are simultaneously fitted to essentially al…
