Atmospheres of Magnetized Neutron Stars: Vacuum Polarization and Partially Ionized Models
Wynn C. G. Ho, Dong Lai, Alexander Y. Potekhin +1
We construct hydrogen atmosphere models for magnetized neutron stars in radiative equilibrium with surface fields B=10^12-5x10^14 G and effective temperatures T_eff a few x 10^5-10…
Equation of state and opacities for hydrogen atmospheres of neutron stars with strong magnetic fields
A. Y. Potekhin, G. Chabrier
We present an equation of state and radiative opacities for a strongly magnetized hydrogen plasma at magnetic fields B, temperatures T, and densities ρtypical for atmospheres of is…
Dense astrophysical plasmas
G. Chabrier, F. Douchin, A. Y. Potekhin
We briefly examine the properties of dense plasmas characteristic of the atmospheres of neutron stars and of the interior of massive white dwarfs. These astrophysical bodies are na…
Cooling of Superfluid Neutron Stars
D. G. Yakovlev, O. Y. Gnedin, A. D. Kaminker +1
Cooling of neutron stars (NSs) with the cores composed of neutrons, protons, and electrons is analyzed. The main cooling regulators are discussed: opening of direct Urca process in…
Electric microfield distributions in electron-ion plasmas
A. Y. Potekhin, G. Chabrier, D. Gilles
The low-frequency electric microfield distribution in a Coulomb plasma is calculated for various plasma parameters, from weak to strong Coulomb coupling and from zero to strong ele…
