The Zoo of neutron stars [PDF]

open access: yesPhysics of Particles and Nuclei, 2008
In these lecture notes I briefly discuss the present day situation and new discoveries in astrophysics of neutron stars focusing on isolated objects. The latter include soft gamma repeaters, anomalous X-ray pulsars, central compact objects in supernova remnants, the Magnificent seven, and rotating radio transients.

A magnetically driven origin for the low luminosity GRB 170817A associated with GW170817

open access: yes, 2018
The gamma-ray burst GRB 170817A associated with GW170817 is subluminous and subenergetic compared with other typical short GRBs. It may be due to a relativistic jet viewed off-axis, or a structured jet, or cocoon emission. Giant flares from magnetars may

Neutron skins and neutron stars

open access: yesPhysical Review C, 2012
Background: The neutron skin of a heavy nucleus as well as many neutron-star properties are highly sensitive to the poorly constrained density dependence of the symmetry energy. Purpose: To provide for the first time meaningful theoretical errors and to assess the degree of correlation between the neutron-skin thickness of ${}^{208}$Pb and several ...

Spin effects on neutron star fundamental-mode dynamical tides: Phenomenology and comparison to numerical simulations

open access: yesPhysical Review Research, 2021
Gravitational waves from neutron star binary inspirals contain information on strongly interacting matter in unexplored, extreme regimes. Extracting this requires robust theoretical models of the signatures of matter in the gravitational-wave signals due

Universality and properties of neutron star type I critical collapses

open access: yes, 2011
We study the neutron star axisymmetric critical solution previously found in the numerical studies of neutron star mergers. Using neutron star-like initial data and performing similar merger simulations, we demonstrate that the solution is indeed a semi ...

Neutrostriction in Neutron Stars [PDF]

open access: yesOld and New Concepts of Physics, 2007
It is demonstrated that not only gravity, but also neutrostriction forces due to optical potential created by coherent elastic neutron-neutron scattering can hold a neutron star together. The latter forces can be stronger than gravitational ones. The effect of these forces on mass, radius and structure of the neutron star is estimated.

On the state of low luminous accreting neutron stars

open access: yes, 2001
Observational appearance of a neutron star in the subsonic propeller state which is a companion of a wind-fed mass-exchange close binary system is discussed.

Isolated neutron stars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
This is a review of X-ray emission from all types of isolated neutron stars, with an emphasis on rotation-powered pulsars. Topics include magnetospheric and thermal emission, as well as pulsar wind nebulae.

An Accretion Model for Anomalous X-Ray Pulsars

open access: yes, 1999
We present a model for the anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs) in which the emission is powered by accretion from a fossil disk, established from matter falling back onto the neutron star following its birth.
