Spin-down of Neutron Stars and Compositional Transitions in the Cold Crustal Matter
Transitions of nuclear compositions in the crust of a neutron star induced by stellar spin-down are evaluated at zero temperature. We construct a compressible liquiddrop model for the energy of nuclei immersed in a neutron gas, including pairing and shell correction terms, in reference to the known properties of the ground state of matter above neutron drip density, 4.3 × 10 g cm. Recent experi...
متن کاملSuperfluidity in neutron stars and cold atoms
We discuss superfluidity in neutron matter, with particular attention to induced interactions and to universal properties accessible with cold atoms.
متن کاملQuark matter in neutron stars
According to quantum chromodynamics, matter at ultra-high density and low temperature is a quark liquid, with a condensate of Cooper pairs of quarks near the Fermi surface (“color superconductivity”). This paper reviews the physics of color superconductivity, and discusses some of the proposed signatures by which we might detect quark matter in neutron stars.
متن کاملDeformation and crustal rigidity of rotating neutron stars
Aims. We calculate parameters A and B of the Baym-Pines model of the hydro-elastic equilibrium of rotating neutron stars. Parameter A determines the energy increase of a non-rotating star due to a quadrupolar deformation of its shape. Parameter B determines residual quadrupolar deformation due to the crustal shear strain in a neutron star that spun down to a non-rotating state. Methods. The cal...
متن کاملModels of crustal heating in accreting neutron stars
Aims. Heating associated with non-equilibrium nuclear reactions in accreting neutron-star crusts is reconsidered, taking into account suppression of neutrino losses demonstrated recently by Gupta et al. Two initial compositions of the nuclear burning ashes, Ai = 56 and Ai = 106, are considered. Dependence of the integrated crustal heating on uncertainties plaguing pycnonuclear reaction models i...
