Experimental constraints on shallow heating in accreting neutron-star crusts
Nicolas Chamel, Anthea Francesca Fantina, Julian-Leszek Zdunik +1
The observed thermal relaxation of transiently accreting neutron stars during quiescence periods in low-mass X-ray binaries suggests the existence of unknown heat sources in the sh…
Analytical determination of the structure of the outer crust of a cold nonaccreted neutron star: extension to strongly quantizing magnetic fields
Nicolas Chamel, Zhivko Krastev Stoyanov
The iterative method recently proposed for determining the internal constitution of the outer crust of a nonaccreted neutron star is extended to magnetars by taking into account th…
Entrainment effects in neutron-proton mixtures within the nuclear-energy density functional theory. II. Finite temperatures and arbitrary currents
Valentin Allard, Nicolas Chamel
Mutual entrainment effects in hot neutron-proton superfluid mixtures are studied in the framework of the self-consistent nuclear energy-density functional theory. The local mass cu…
Superfluidity in Disordered Neutron Stars Crusts
J. A. Sauls, N. Chamel, M. A. Alpar
Nonequilibrium conditions imposed by neutrino cooling through the liquid-solid transition lead to disorder in the solid crust of neutron stars. Disorder reduces the superfluid frac…
Vortex pinning in the superfluid core of neutron stars and the rise of pulsar glitches
Aurélien Sourie, Nicolas Chamel
Timing of the Crab and Vela pulsars have recently revealed very peculiar evolutions of their spin frequency during the early stage of a glitch. We show that these differences can b…
Force on a neutron quantised vortex pinned to proton fluxoids in the superfluid core of cold neutron stars
Aurélien Sourie, Nicolas Chamel
The superfluid and superconducting core of a cold rotating neutron star is expected to be threaded by a tremendous number of neutron quantised vortices and proton fluxoids. Their i…
