布拉格衍射与冷中子星的铁壳
Bragg diffraction and the Iron crust of cold Neutron Stars
摘要：
如果冷却下来的中子星有一层薄薄的原子晶体铁壳，它们就必须吸收适当波长的X射线。如果衍射光束要在地球上可见，照明源必须非常强烈，并且靠近反射恒星。一个例子是一个双星系统，它由两颗在近轨道上的中子星组成，其中一颗是惰性的，另一颗是X射线脉冲星（也许是一颗“异常”的X射线脉冲星或磁星，不是由伴星或周围空间的气体吸收提供动力，这将是最干净的例子）。要搜索的可观测值是（准）周期性地添加到主X射线脉冲的次峰。该次峰的显著特征在于，它出现在由简单整数λ、λ/2、λ/3.相关的波长处。λ/n，因为布拉格的衍射定律。
英文摘要：
If cooled-down neutron stars have a thin atomic crystalline-iron crust, they must diffract X-rays of appropriate wavelength. If the diffracted beam is to be visible from Earth, the illuminating source must be very intense and near the reflecting star. An example is a binary system composed of two neutron stars in close orbit, one of them inert, the other an X-ray pulsar (perhaps an "anomalous" X-ray pulsar or magnetar, not powered by gas absorption from the companion or surrounding space, would be the cleanest example). The observable to be searched for is a secondary peak added (quasi-) periodically to the main X-ray pulse. The distinguishing feature of this secondary peak is that it appears at wavelengths related by simple integer numbers, lambda, lambda/2, lambda/3... lambda/n because of Bragg's diffraction law.
