چکیده

We derive practical expressions for a rapid and accurate evaluation of electric and thermal conductivities and thermopower of degenerate relativistic electrons along quantizing magnetic elds in outer neutron star crusts. We consider the electron Coulomb scattering on ions in liquid matter, as well as on high-temperature phonons or charged impurities in solid matter. We propose also a reasonable semi-quantitative treatment of low-temperature phonons. The transport properties are expressed through the energy dependent eeective electron relaxation time averaged over electron energies. We calculate this relaxation time, using the theoretical formalism of the previous work, obtain accurate tting expressions, and propose an eecient energy averaging procedure. We create a computer code which calculates the longitudinal transport properties of degenerate electrons in strong magnetic elds for any parameters of dense stellar matter of practical interest. We analyse quantum oscillations of the transport coeecients versus density at various temperatures and magnetic elds.

A&a Manuscript No. Electron Conduction along Quantizing Magnetic Elds in Neutron Star Crusts

Transport properties of degenerate relativistic electrons along quantizing magnetic elds in neutron star crusts are considered. A kinetic equation is derived for the spin polarization density matrix of electrons. Its solution does not depend on the choice of basic electron wave functions unlike previous solutions of the traditional kinetic equation for the distribution function. The density mat...

Electron conduction in magnetized neutron star envelopes

Practical expressions are derived for evaluation of electrical and thermal conductivities and thermopower of degenerate electrons in the outer envelopes of neutron stars with magnetic fields. All tensor components of the kinetic coefficients are calculated (those related to conduction along and across magnetic field and to the Hall currents). The kinetic coefficients are presented as energy ave...

Thermal conductivity of ions in a neutron star envelope

We analyze the thermal conductivity of ions (equivalent to the conductivity of phonons in crystalline matter) in a neutron star envelope. We calculate the ion/phonon thermal conductivity in a crystal of atomic nuclei using variational formalism and performing momentum-space integration by Monte Carlo method. We take into account phonon-phonon and phonon-electron scattering mechanisms and show t...

Magnetic 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 ...
