摘要:

磁星是一种中子星,其表面磁场的量级为$10^{14}-10^{15}$ ~G,内部的磁场可能更强。作为电子运动朗道量子化的结果,磁星地壳中的中子滴跃迁根据磁场强度而转移到更高或更低的密度。考虑到最近的一系列的奥塞尔-蒙特利尔微观核质量模型的核不确定性的影响进行了探讨。所有这些模型都是基于广义Skyrme泛函的Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov方法。他们不同的预测在饱和时的对称性能量系数,并为刚度的中子物质状态方程。为了比较,我们也考虑了非常精确但更唯象的Duflo和Zuker模型。虽然磁星地壳的平衡组成和中子发射的开始被发现是依赖于模型的,阈值密度的量子振荡基本上是普遍的。

英文摘要:

Magnetars are neutron stars endowed with surface magnetic fields of the order of $10^{14}-10^{15}$~G, and with presumably much stronger fields in their interior. As a result of Landau quantization of electron motion, the neutron-drip transition in the crust of a magnetar is shifted to either higher or lower densities depending on the magnetic field strength. The impact of nuclear uncertainties is explored considering the recent series of Brussels-Montreal microscopic nuclear mass models. All these models are based on the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov method with generalized Skyrme functionals. They differ in their predictions for the symmetry energy coefficient at saturation, and for the stiffness of the neutron-matter equation of state. For comparison, we have also considered the very accurate but more phenomenological model of Duflo and Zuker. Although the equilibrium composition of the crust of a magnetar and the onset of neutron emission are found to be model dependent, the quantum oscillations of the threshold density are essentially universal.
