Microphysics of Neutron Star Outer Envelopes in the Periodized, Magnetic Thomas-Fermi Model
Tyler A. Engstrom, Vincent H. Crespi, Benjamin J. Owen +2
Static and dynamic properties of low density outer envelopes of neutron stars are calculated within the nonlinear magnetic Thomas-Fermi model, assuming degenerate electrons. A nove…
Maximum elastic deformations of relativistic stars
Nathan K. Johnson-McDaniel, Benjamin J. Owen
We present a method for calculating the maximum elastic quadrupolar deformations of relativistic stars, generalizing the previous Newtonian, Cowling approximation integral given by…
Shear modulus of the hadron-quark mixed phase
Nathan K. Johnson-McDaniel, Benjamin J. Owen
Robust arguments predict that a hadron-quark mixed phase may exist in the cores of some "neutron" stars. Such a phase forms a crystalline lattice with a shear modulus higher than t…
Probing neutron stars with gravitational waves
Benjamin J. Owen
Within the next decade gravitational-wave (GW) observations by Advanced LIGO in the United States, Advanced Virgo and GEO HF in Europe, and possibly other ground-based instruments…
