A solution to the tension of burning on neutron stars and nuclear physics
Y. Cavecchi, D. Galloway, A. Heger +8
When neutron stars accrete matter from a companion star, this matter forms a disc around them and eventually falls on their surface. Here, the fuel can ignite into bright flashes c…
Dense Matter in Neutron Stars with eXTP
Ang Li, Anna L. Watts, Guobao Zhang +82
In this White Paper, we present the potential of the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry (eXTP) mission to constrain the equation of state of dense matter in neutron stars, explo…
GX 340+0: In and Out of Focus
S. Li, R. M. Ludlam, D. J. K. Buisson +9
The Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) enables detailed high-energy X-ray observations from 3--79 keV, but its performance can be constrained by telemetry saturation wh…
A comprehensive study of type I (thermonuclear) bursts in the new transient SRGA J144459.2604207
Tao Fu, Zhaosheng Li, Yuanyue Pan +11
We report an analysis of Insight-HXMT observations of the newly discovered accreting millisecond pulsar SRGA J144459.2604207. During the outburst, detected in 2024 February by S…
The birth mass function of neutron stars
Zhi-Qiang You, Xingjiang Zhu, Xiaojin Liu +12
The birth mass function of neutron stars encodes rich information about supernova explosions, double star evolution, and properties of matter under extreme conditions. To date, it…
