Neutron specific heat in the crust of neutron stars from the nuclear band theory
Nicolas Chamel, Jérôme Margueron, Elias Khan
The inner crust of neutron stars, formed of a crystal lattice of uclear clusters immersed in a sea of unbound neutrons, may be the nique example of periodic nuclear systems. We hav…
Further explorations of Skyrme-Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov mass formulas. IX: Constraint of pairing force to neutron-matter gap
N. Chamel, S. Goriely, J. M. Pearson
In this latest of our series of Skyrme-HFB mass models, HFB-16, we introduce the new feature of requiring that the contact pairing force reproduce at each density the pairi…
Semi-classical equation of state and specific heats for neutron-star inner crust with proton shell corrections
M. Onsi, A. K. Dutta, H. Chatri +3
An approach to the equation of state for the inner crust of neutron stars based on Skyrme-type forces is presented. Working within the Wigner-Seitz picture, the energy is calculate…
The crust of neutron stars
Nicolas Chamel
The structure of the crust of a neutron star is completely determined by the experimentally measured nuclear masses up to a density of the order of 10^11 g.cm^{-3}. At higher densi…
Entrainment parameters in cold superfluid neutron star core
Nicolas Chamel, Pawel Haensel
Hydrodynamical simulations of neutron star cores, based on a two fluid description in terms of a neutron-proton superfluid mixture, require the knowledge of the Andreev-Bashkin ent…
Effective mass of free neutrons in neutron star crust
Nicolas Chamel
The inner layers of a neutron star crust, composed of a Coulomb lattice of neutron rich nuclear clusters immersed in a sea of ``free'' superfluid neutrons, are closely analogous to…
