Shear Viscosity and Oscillations of Neutron Star Crusts
We calculate the electron shear viscosity (determined by Coulomb electron collisions) for a dense matter in a wide range of parameters typical for white dwarf cores and neutron star crusts. In the density range from ∼ 103 g cm−3 to 107 − 1010 g cm−3 we consider the matter composed of widely abundant astrophysical elements, from H to Fe. For higher densities, 1010 − 1014 g cm−3, we employ the gr...
متن کاملMagnetic field dissipation in neutron star crusts: from magnetars to isolated neutron stars
Context. We study the non–linear evolution of magnetic fields in neutron star crusts with special attention to the influence of the Hall drift. Aims. Our goal is to understand the conditions for fast dissipation due to the Hall term in the induction equation. We study the interplay of Ohmic dissipation and Hall drift in order to find a timescale for the overall crustal field decay. Methods. We ...
متن کاملPhysics of Neutron Star Crusts
The physics of neutron star crusts is vast, involving many different research fields, from nuclear and condensed matter physics to general relativity. This review summarizes the progress, which has been achieved over the last few years, in modeling neutron star crusts, both at the microscopic and macroscopic levels. The confrontation of these theoretical models with observations is also briefly...
متن کاملNeutron-phonon Interaction in Neutron Star Crusts
The phonon spectrum of Coulomb lattice in neutron star crusts above the neutron drip density is affected by the interaction with the ambient neutron Fermi-liquid. For the values of the neutron-phonon coupling constant in the range 0.1 ≤ λ ≤ 1 an appreciable renormalization of the phonon spectrum occurs which can lead to a lattice instability manifested in an exponential growth of the density fl...
متن کاملTowards a metallurgy of neutron star crusts.
In the standard picture of the crust of a neutron star, matter there is simple: a body-centered-cubic lattice of nuclei immersed in an essentially uniform electron gas. We show that, at densities above that for neutron drip (∼ 4 × 1 0(11) g cm(-3) or roughly one-thousandth of nuclear matter density), the interstitial neutrons give rise to an attractive interaction between nuclei that renders t...
