Cooling of neutron stars: effects of accreted envelopes, magnetic field and crustal superfluidity

G. Chabrier, A. Y. Potekhin, D. G. Yakovlev

We briefly review recent theoretical studies of the effects of accreted envelopes, magnetic fields and crustal superfluidity on the cooling of neutron stars. These effects are espe…

Coulomb plasmas in outer envelopes of neutron stars

A. Y. Potekhin, G. Chabrier, D. G. Yakovlev

Outer envelopes of neutron stars consist mostly of fully ionized, strongly coupled Coulomb plasmas characterized by typical densities about 10^4-10^{11} g/cc and temperatures about…

Pre-Main Sequence models for low-mass stars and brown dwarfs

I. Baraffe, G. Chabrier, F. Allard +1

We present evolutionary models for low mass stars and brown dwarfs ($m \le 1.2 \msol$) based on recent improvement of the theory: equation of state, atmosphere models, ... We conce…

Partially ionized hydrogen plasma in strong magnetic fields

A. Y. Potekhin, G. Chabrier, Yu. A. Shibanov

We study the thermodynamic properties of a partially ionized hydrogen plasma in strong magnetic fields, B ~ 10^{12}-10^{13} G, typical of neutron stars. The properties of the plasm…

The physics of brown dwarfs

Gilles Chabrier

We briefly outline the physics underlying the mechanical and thermal properties of brown dwarfs, which characterizes their interiors and their atmospheres. We mention the most rece…

Towards a consistent model of the Galaxy: I. kinematic properties, star counts and microlensing observations

D. Méra, G. Chabrier, R. Schaeffer

We examine the most recent observational constraints arising from i) small-scale and large-scale Galactic dynamical properties, ii) star counts at faint magnitude and iii) microlen…
