  • 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 ...
  • Nuclear reactions in the crusts of accreting neutron stars 
    Lau, R.; Beard, M.; Gupta, S. S.; Schatz, H.; Afanasjev, A. V.; Brown, E. F.; Deibel, A.; Gasques, L. R.; Hitt, G. W.; Hix, W. R.; Keek, L.; Möller, P.; Shternin, P. S.; Steiner, A. W.; Wiescher, M.; Xu, Y. (2021-10-19)
    X-ray observations of transiently accreting neutron stars during quiescence provide information about the structure of neutron star crusts and the properties of dense matter. Interpretation of the observational data ...
  • 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 ...
  • Time-of-flight mass measurements for nuclear processes in neutron star crusts 
    Estrade, A.; Matos, M.; Schatz, H.; Amthor, A.M.; Bazin, D.; Beard, M.; Becerri, A.; Brown, E. F.; Cyburt, R.; Elliot, T.; Gade, A.; Galaviz, D.; George, S.; Gupta, S. S.; Hix, W. R.; Lau, R.; Lorusso, G.; Moller, P.; Pereira, J.; Portillo, M.; Rogers, A. M.; Shapira, D.; Smith, E.; Stolz, A.; Wallace, M.; Wiescher, M. (2016-11-28)
    We present results from time-of-flight nuclear mass measurements at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory that are relevant for neutron star crust models. The masses of 16 neutron-rich nuclei in the scandium–nickel ...
