Influence of Nuclear Reaction Rate Uncertainties on Neutron Star Properties Extracted From X-ray Burst Model-Observation Comparisons
Zach Meisel, Grant Merz, Sophia Medvid
Type-I X-ray bursts can be used to determine properties of accreting neutron stars via comparisons between model calculations and astronomical observations, exploiting the sensitiv…
Nuclear Physics of the Outer Layers of Accreting Neutron Stars
Zach Meisel, Alex Deibel, Laurens Keek +2
Now 50 years since the existence of the neutron star crust was proposed, we review the current understanding of the nuclear physics of the outer layers of accreting neutron stars.…
Consistent Modeling of GS 1826-24 X-ray Bursts for Multiple Accretion Rates Demonstrates the Possibility to Constrain rp-process Reaction Rates
Zach Meisel
Type-I X-ray burst light curves encode unique information about the structure of accreting neutron stars and the nuclear reaction rates of the rp-process that powers bursts. Using…
Status of the JENSA gas-jet target for experiments with rare isotope beams
K. Schmidt, K. A. Chipps, S. Ahn +12
The JENSA gas-jet target was designed for experiments with radioactive beams provided by the rare isotope re-accelerator ReA3 at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory.…
The Great Wall: Urca Cooling Layers in the Accreted NS Crust
Zach Meisel
Accreting neutron stars host a number of astronomical observables which can be used to infer the properties of the underlying dense matter. These observables are sensitive to the h…
