Emission processes in quiescent neutron star transients
We review the observational properties of transient systems made by a neutron star primary and a late dwarf companion (known also as Soft X–ray Transients) during their quiescent state. We focus on the several emission mechanisms proposed and try to compare them with observations. Finally, we review new tools to improve our comprehension of the physics of the emission processes. WHAT ARE NEUTRO...
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...
متن کاملNon-equilibrium beta processes in superfluid neutron star cores
The beta relaxation time of the degenerate neutron star cores, composed of neutrons, protons and electrons, is evaluated taking into account the superfluidity of nucleons. We calculate the implied reduction factors for both direct and modified Urca reactions, with isotropic pairing of the protons or anisotropic pairing of neutrons. We find that due to the non-zero value of the temperature and/o...
متن کاملAtmospheric Evolution of Terrestrial Planets and Satellites
The evolution of planetary atmospheres and their water inventories are strongly related to the evolution of the solar radiation and plasma environment, which was much more active when the young Sun arrived at the Zero-Age-Main-Sequence. After formation of the terrestrial planets and their early atmospheres, due to the active young Sun and large impacts, heavy species and their isotopes were mos...
متن کاملGeophysical and atmospheric evolution of habitable planets.
The evolution of Earth-like habitable planets is a complex process that depends on the geodynamical and geophysical environments. In particular, it is necessary that plate tectonics remain active over billions of years. These geophysically active environments are strongly coupled to a planet's host star parameters, such as mass, luminosity and activity, orbit location of the habitable zone, and...
