Heating in Magnetar Crusts from Electron Captures
Nicolas Chamel, Anthea Francesca Fantina, Lami Suleiman +2
The persistent thermal luminosity of magnetars and their outbursts suggest the existence of some internal heat sources located in their outer crust. The compression of matter accom…
Properties of a quantum vortex in neutron matter
Daniel Pęcak, Nicolas Chamel, Piotr Magierski +1
We have studied systematically microscopic properties of a quantum vortex in neutron matter at finite temperatures and densities corresponding to different layers of the inner crus…
Binary and ternary ionic compounds in the outer crust of a cold nonaccreting neutron star
Nicolas Chamel, Anthea Fantina
The outer crust of a cold nonaccreting neutron star has been generally assumed to be stratified into different layers, each of which consists of a pure body-centered cubic ionic cr…
Electron exchange and polarization effects on electron captures and neutron emissions by nuclei in white dwarfs and neutron stars
Nicolas Chamel, Anthea Fantina
In dense stellar environments, nuclei may become unstable against electron captures and/or neutron emissions. These processes are of particular importance for determining the inter…
Role of the symmetry energy on the neutron-drip transition in accreting and nonaccreting neutron stars
A. F. Fantina, N. Chamel, Y. D. Mutafchieva +3
In this paper, we study the role of the symmetry energy on the neutron-drip transition in both nonaccreting and accreting neutron stars, allowing for the presence of a strong magne…
Vortex pinning in the superfluid core of relativistic neutron stars
Aurélien Sourie, Nicolas Chamel
Our recent Newtonian treatment of the smooth-averaged mutual-friction force acting on the neutron superfluid and locally induced by the pinning of quantized neutron vortices to pro…
