Spin-polarization of the neutron ocean in magnetar crusts

Juliette Servais, Nicolas Chamel

Magnetars, neutron stars harboring the strongest magnetic fields known in the Universe, are associated with a broad range of observational phenomena, from giant flares to fast radi…

On the impact of the carbon fusion rate over the properties of superbursts -- Numerical simulations of superbursts with MESA

Martin Nava-Callejas, Stéphane Goriely, Nicolas Chamel

Context: Superbursts are very energetic explosions in the crust of neutron stars in Low-Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs). These are triggered by unstable carbon burning at $T\leq 10^{9}…

Superfluid fraction and effective ion mass in the crystalline crust of a neutron star: role of interband response

Nicolas Chamel

Neutron superfluidity in the inner crust of a neutron star is further investigated, focusing on the role of the interband response in the superfluid fraction and the effective mass…

Superfluid fraction in the crystalline crust of a neutron star: role of quantum zero-point motion of ions

Nicolas Chamel

The suppression of the neutron superfluid fraction in the inner crust of a cold neutron star is mitigated by the quantum zero-point motion of ions about their equilibrium position.…

Tidal deformations of general-relativistic multifluid compact stars

Ethan Carlier, Nicolas Chamel

Over the past decade, gravitational-wave astronomy has opened a new window onto the extreme states of matter inside compact stars. At some point during the inspiral of a binary sys…

Skyrme-Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov mass models on a 3D mesh: V. The N2LO extension of the Skyrme EDF

G. Grams, W. Ryssens, A. Sánchez-Fernández +6

We present BSkG5, the latest entry in the Brussels-Skyrme-on-a-Grid (BSkG) series and the first large-scale nuclear structure model based on next-to-next-to-leading order (N2LO) Sk…
