Unmasking neutron star interiors using cooling simulations
We introduce a new tool for “unmasking” the composition of neutron star (NS) interiors which is based on the fact that the state of matter at high densities determines the statistics of both NS observables, the temperature-age (TA) data as well as the mass distribution. We use modern cooling simulations to extract distributions of NS masses required to reproduce those of the yet sparse data in ...
متن کاملSuperburst Ignition and Implications for Neutron Star Interiors
Superbursts are thought to be powered by the unstable ignition of a carbon-enriched layer formed from the burning of accreted hydrogen and helium. As shown by Cumming & Bildsten, the short recurrence time hinges on the crust being sufficiently hot at densities ρ > 109 gcm−3. In this Letter, we self-consistently solve for the flux coming from the deep crust and core. The temperature where the ca...
متن کاملFrom Boson Condensation to Quark Deconfinement: The Many Faces of Neutron Star Interiors
Gravity compresses the matter in the cores of neutron stars to densities which are significantly higher than the density of ordinary atomic nuclei, thus providing a high-pressure environment in which numerous particle processes – from the generation of new baryonic particles to quark deconfinement to the formation of Boson condensates and H-matter – may compete with each other. There are theore...
متن کاملNeutron Star Interiors and the Equation of State of Superdense Matter
Neutron stars contain matter in one of the densest forms found in the Universe. This feature, together with the unprecedented progress in observational astrophysics, makes such stars superb astrophysical laboratories for a broad range of exciting physical studies. This paper gives an overview of the phases of dense matter predicted to make their appearance in the cores of neutron stars. Particu...
متن کاملDouble Neutron Star Systems and Natal Neutron Star Kicks
We study the four double neutron star systems found in the Galactic disk in terms of the orbital characteristics of their immediate progenitors and the natal kicks imparted to neutron stars. Analysis of the effect of the second supernova explosion on the orbital dynamics, combined with recent results from simulations of rapid accretion onto neutron stars lead us to conclude that the observed sy...
