  • The Impact of Neutron Transfer Reactions on the heating and cooling of Accreted Neutron Star Crusts 
    Schatz, H.; Meisel, Z.; Brown, E.F.; Gupta, S.S.; Hitt, G.W.; Hix, W.R.; Jain, R.; Lau, R.; Moller, P.; Ong, W.-J.; Shternin, P.S.; Xu, Y.; Wiescher, M. (2022-06-22)
    Nuclear reactions heat and cool the crust of accreting neutron stars and need to be understood to interpret observations of X-ray bursts and long-term cooling in transiently accreting systems. It was recently suggested ...
  • Impact of Pycnonuclear Fusion Uncertainties on the Cooling of Accreting Neutron Star Crusts 
    Jain, R.; Brown, E.F.; Schatz, H.; Afanasjev, A.V.; Beard, M.; Gasques, L.R.; Gupta, S.S.; Hitt, G.W.; Hix, W.R.; Lau, R. (2024-06-09)
    Abstract: The observation of X-rays during quiescence from transiently accreting neutron stars provides unique clues about the nature of dense matter. This, however, requires extensive modeling of the crusts and matching ...
  • Strong neutrino cooling by cycles of electron capture and β-decay in neutron star crusts 
    Schatz, H.; Gupta, S.; Moller, P.; Beard, M.; Brown, E.F.; Deibel, A.T.; Gasques, L.R.; Hix, W.R.; Keek, L.; Lau, R.; Steiner, A.W.; Wiescher, M. (2016-11-24)
    The temperature in the crust of an accreting neutron star, which comprises its outermost kilometre, is set by heating from nuclear reactions at large densities, neutrino cooling and heat transport from the interior. The ...
