Unexpected late-time temperature increase observed in two neutron star crust cooling sources -- XTE~J1701-462 and EXO~0748-676
A. S. Parikh, R. Wijnands, J. Homan +4
Transient LMXBs that host neutron stars (NSs) provide excellent laboratories for probing the dense matter physics present in NS crusts. During accretion outbursts in LMXBs, exother…
The effect of diffusive nuclear burning in neutron star envelopes on cooling in accreting systems
M. J. P Wijngaarden, Wynn C. G. Ho, Philip Chang +6
Valuable information about the neutron star interior can be obtained by comparing observations of thermal radiation from a cooling neutron star crust with theoretical models. Nucle…
The Multi-INstrument Burst ARchive (MINBAR)
D. K. Galloway, J. J. M. in 't Zand, J. Chenevez +7
We present the largest sample of type-I (thermonuclear) X-ray bursts yet assembled, comprising 7083 bursts from 85 bursting sources. The sample is drawn from observations with Xeno…
Crust cooling of the neutron star in Aql X-1: Different depth and magnitude of shallow heating during similar accretion outbursts
N. Degenaar, L. S. Ootes, D. Page +7
The structure and composition of the crust of neutron stars plays an important role in their thermal and magnetic evolution, hence in setting their observational properties. One wa…
Recurrent low-level luminosity behaviour after a giant outburst in the Be/X-ray transient 4U 0115+63
A. Rouco Escorial, R. Wijnands, J. van den Eijnden +4
In 2017, the Be/X-ray transient 4U 0115+63 exhibited a new type-II outburst that was two times fainter than its 2015 giant outburst (in the Swift/BAT count rates). Despite this dif…
Long-term temperature evolution of neutron stars undergoing episodic accretion outbursts
L. S. Ootes, R. Wijnands, D. Page
Transient neutron star (NS) LMXBs undergo episodes of accretion, alternated with quiescent periods. During an accretion outburst, the NS heats up due to exothermic accretion-induce…
