Unified equations of state for cold non-accreting neutron stars with Brussels-Montreal functionals. IV. Role of the symmetry energy in pasta phases
N. N. Shchechilin, N. Chamel, J. M. Pearson
Our previous investigation of neutron-star crusts, based on the functional BSk24, led to a substantial reduction of the pasta mantle when Strutinsky integral and pairing correction…
Accreting neutron stars from the nuclear energy-density functional theory. II. Equation of state and global properties
A. F. Fantina, J. L. Zdunik, N. Chamel +3
The accretion of matter onto the surface of a neutron star in a low-mass X-ray binary triggers X-ray bursts, whose ashes are buried and further processed thus altering the composit…
Unified equations of state for cold non-accreting neutron stars with Brussels-Montreal functionals. II. Pasta phases in semi-classical approximation
J. M. Pearson, N. Chamel, A. Y. Potekhin
We generalize our earlier work on neutron stars (arXiv:1903.04981), which assumed spherical Wigner-Seitz cells in the inner crust, to admit the possibility of pasta phases, i.e., n…
Crystallization of the inner crust of a neutron star and the influence of shell effects
T. Carreau, F. Gulminelli, N. Chamel +2
Context. In the cooling process of a non-accreting neutron star, the composition and properties of the crust are thought to be fixed at the finite temperature where nuclear reactio…
Role of Landau-Rabi quantization of electron motion on the crust of magnetars within the nuclear energy density functional theory
Y. D. Mutafchieva, N. Chamel, Zh. K. Stoyanov +2
Magnetic fields of order G have been measured at the surface of some neutron stars, and much stronger magnetic fields are expected to be present in the solid region benea…
Unified equations of state for cold non-accreting neutron stars with Brussels-Montreal functionals. I. Role of symmetry energy
J. M. Pearson, N. Chamel, A. Y. Potekhin +4
The theory of the nuclear energy-density functional is used to provide a unified and thermodynamically consistent treatment of all regions of cold non-accreting neutron stars. In o…
