The impact of surface temperature inhomogeneities on quiescent neutron star radius measurements
K. Elshamouty, C. Heinke, S. Morsink +2
Fitting the thermal X-ray spectra of neutron stars (NSs) in quiescent X-ray binaries can constrain the masses and radii of NSs. The effect of undetected hot spots on the spectrum,…
The Soft X-ray Spectrum of the High Mass X-Ray Binary V0332+53 in Quiescence
K. Elshamouty, C. Heinke, R. Chouinard
The propeller effect should cut off accretion in fast-spinning neutron star high mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) at low mass transfer rates. However, accretion continues in some HMXBs…
Tests of the nuclear equation of state and superfluid and superconducting gaps using the Cassiopeia A neutron star
Wynn C. G. Ho, Khaled G. Elshamouty, Craig O. Heinke +1
The observed rapid cooling of the Cassiopeia A neutron star can be interpreted as being caused by neutron and proton transitions from normal to superfluid and superconducting state…
Measuring the Cooling of the Neutron Star in Cassiopeia A with all Chandra X-ray Observatory Detectors
K. G. Elshamouty, C. O. Heinke, G. R. Sivakoff +5
The thermal evolution of young neutron stars (NSs) reflects the neutrino emission properties of their cores. Heinke et al. (2010) measured a 3.6+/-0.6% decay in the surface tempera…
