The Zoo of neutron stars [PDF]
Physics 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.

Sonoluminescence in neutron stars [PDF]
Physics Letters B, 1998 After a brief discussion of a possible relationship between the electroweak phase transition in highly compressed matter and gravitational collapse, we examine the speculative possibility that the electroweak phase transition might be contemporarily occurring in processes in neutron stars. We conjecture that adiabatic compression of neutron star matter

On the formation history of Galactic double neutron stars [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018 Double neutron stars (DNSs) have been observed as Galactic radio pulsars, and the recent discovery of gravitational waves from the DNS merger GW170817 adds to the known DNS population.

The Magnetospheres of (Accreting) Neutron Stars
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2014 I give an overview of the most important observational tools to study the magnetospheres of accreting neutron stars, with a focus on accreting neutron stars in high mass X-ray binary systems.

Nucleosynthesis in low-mass stars: Shedding light on the cosmic origin of heavy elements [PDF]
EPJ Web of ConferencesLow-mass, low-metallicity stars while evolving through the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phase undergo significant nucleosynthesis producing the majority of slow (s-) and intermedite (i-) neutron capture elements.

Constraining Dark Boson Decay Using Neutron Stars
Universe, 2023 Inspired by the well-known anomaly in the lifetime of the neutron, we investigated its consequences inside neutron stars. We first assessed the viability of the neutron decay hypothesis suggested by Fornal and Grinstein within neutron stars, in terms of ...

Unified equations of state for cold non-accreting neutron stars with Brussels-Montreal functionals. I. Role of symmetry energy [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018 The theory of the nuclear energy-density functional is used to provide a unified and thermodynamically consistent treatment of all regions of cold non-accreting neutron stars. In order to assess the impact of our lack of complete knowledge of the density

Neutron skins and neutron stars
Physical 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 ...

Constraining the Maximum Mass of Neutron Stars from Multi-messenger Observations of GW170817 [PDF]
, 2017 We combine electromagnetic (EM) and gravitational-wave (GW) information on the binary neutron star (NS) merger GW170817 in order to constrain the radii and maximum mass of NSs.

Cyclotron lines in highly magnetized neutron stars [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2018 Cyclotron lines, also called cyclotron resonant scattering features are spectral features, generally appearing in absorption, in the X-ray spectra of objects containing highly magnetized neutron stars, allowing the direct measurement of the magnetic ...
