吸积中子星中的中子反应:有效地壳加热的新途径

Neutron reactions in accreting neutron stars: a new pathway to efficient crust heating

Sanjib S. Gupta, Toshihiko Kawano, Peter Möller

摘要:

在我们对中子星地壳加热的计算中,我们包括了几个关键的新模型特征。在早期的工作中,电子捕获(EC)只允许中子从子基态发射,在这里,我们计算,在变形QRPA模型,EC衰变率的所有国家的女儿,允许伽莫夫-泰勒选择规则和能量。1n,...,xn通道和竞争的$γ$ -衰减在Hauser-Feshbach模型中计算。由于EC进入激发态,在我们的计算中比以前的工作中发射更多的中子,导致加速的反应流。在我们的多组分等离子体模型中,一个单一的(EC,xn)反应步骤可以产生几个缺中子核,每个缺中子核可以进一步衰变(EC,xn)。因此,与单组分等离子体模型相比,随着深度的增加,中子发射更连续地发生。

英文摘要:

In our calculation of neutron star crust heating we include several key new model features. In earlier work electron capture (EC) only allowed neutron emission from the daughter ground-state; here we calculate, in a deformed QRPA model, EC decay rates to all states in the daughter that are allowed by Gamow-Teller selection rules and energetics. The subsequent branching ratios between the 1n,...,xn channels and the competing $γ$-decay are calculated in a Hauser-Feshbach model. Since EC accesses excited states, many more neutrons are emitted in our calculation than in previous work, leading to accelerated reaction flows. In our multi-component plasma model a single (EC,xn) reaction step can produce several neutron-deficient nuclei, each of which can further decay by (EC,xn). Hence, the neutron emission occurs more continuously with increasing depth as compared to that in a one-component plasma model.
