Rapid neutrino cooling in the neutron star MXB 1659-29
Edward F. Brown, Andrew Cumming, Farrukh J. Fattoyev +3
We show that the neutron star in the transient system MXB~1659-29 has a core neutrino luminosity that substantially exceeds that of the modified Urca reactions (i.e., $n+n\to n+p+e…
Neutron skins and neutron stars in the multi-messenger era
F. J. Fattoyev, J. Piekarewicz, C. J. Horowitz
The historical first detection of a binary neutron star merger by the LIGO-Virgo collaboration [B. P. Abbott et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 119, 161101 (2017)] is providing fundamental ne…
Deep crustal heating by neutrinos from the surface of accreting neutron stars
F. J. Fattoyev, Edward F. Brown, Andrew Cumming +4
We present a new mechanism for deep crustal heating in accreting neutron stars. Charged pions () are produced in nuclear collisions on the neutron star surface during active a…
Simulating the Novel Phase Separation of a Rapid Proton Capture Ash Composition
M. E. Caplan, D. K. Berry, C. J. Horowitz +2
Nucleosynthesis in the oceans of accreting neutron stars can produce novel mixtures of nuclides, whose composition is dependent on the exact astrophysical conditions. Many simulati…
Disentangling the role of vibration, rotation, and neutron transfer in the fusion of neutron-rich mid-mass nuclei
J. Vadas, Varinderjit Singh, B. B. Wiggins +9
We report the first measurement of the fusion excitation functions for K + Si at near-barrier energies. Evaporation residues resulting from the fusion process were…
Neutrino scattering in supernovae and spin correlations of a unitary gas
Zidu Lin, C. J. Horowitz
Core collapse supernova simulations can be sensitive to neutrino interactions near the neutrinosphere. This is the surface of last scattering. We model the neutrinosphere region as…
