Spin Clustering of Accreting X-ray Neutron Stars as Possible Evidence of Quark Matter
Norman K. Glendenning, F. Weber
A neutron star in binary orbit with a low-mass non-degenerate companion becomes a source of x-rays with millisecond variability when mass accretion spins it up. Centrifugally drive…
Possible evidence of quark matter in neutron star X-ray binaries
Norman K. Glendenning, F. Weber
We study the spin evolution of X-ray neutron stars in binary systems, which are being spun up by mass transfer from accretion disks. Our investigation reveals that a quark phase tr…
Compatibility of neutron star masses and hyperon coupling constants
H. Huber, M. K. Weigel, F. Weber
It is shown that the modern equations of state for neutron star matter based on microscopic calculations of symmetric and asymmetric nuclear matter are compatible with the lower bo…
Symmetric and asymmetric nuclear matter in the Thomas-Fermi model at finite temperatures
Klaus Strobel, Fridolin Weber, Manfred K. Weigel
The properties of warm symmetric and asymmetric nuclear matter are investigated in the frame of the Thomas-Fermi approximation using a recent modern parametrization of the effectiv…
Neutron superfluidity in strongly magnetic interiors of neutron stars and its effect on thermal evolution
Ch. Schaab, F. Weber, M. K. Weigel
The possibility of a neutron m=2-superfluid in the interior of neutron stars is investigated. This pairing state is energetically favoured in strong magnetic fields ($H\sim 10^{16}…
Symmetric and asymmetric nuclear matter in the relativistic approach at finite temperatures
H. Huber, F. Weber, M. K. Weigel
The properties of hot matter are studied in the frame of the relativistic Brueckner-Hartree-Fock theory. The equations are solved self-consistently in the full Dirac space. For the…
