Models of crustal heating in accreting neutron stars
P. Haensel, J. L. Zdunik
Heating associated with non-equilibrium nuclear reactions in accreting neutron-star crusts is reconsidered, taking into account suppression of neutrino losses demonstrated recently…
Strong first-order phase transition in a rotating neutron star core and the associated energy release
J. L. Zdunik, M. Bejger, P. Haensel +1
We calculate the energy release associated with a strong first-order phase transition, from normal phase N to an "exotic" superdense phase S, in a rotating neutron star. Such a pha…
Two branches of neutron stars - reconciling a 2M_sun pulsar and SN1987A
P. Haensel, M. Bejger, J. L. Zdunik
The analysis of SN1987A led Brown and Bethe (1995) to conclusion, that the maximum mass of cold neutron stars is low, M_max ~ 1.5M_sun. Such a low M_max, due to a kaon condensation…
Rotation at 1122 Hz and the neutron star structure
M. Bejger, P. Haensel, J. L. Zdunik
Recent observations of XTE J1739-285 suggest that it contains a neutron star rotating at 1122 Hz. Such rotation imposes bounds on the structure of neutron star in XTE J1739-285. Th…
