论文摘要
在低质量X射线二进制过程中，观察到的在静止期间瞬时积聚的中子星的热弛豫表明，中子星形壳的浅层层中存在未知的热源。利用现有的实验核数据，我们估计，由于电子捕获和由X射线爆发灰烬埋葬引起的电子捕获和pycnonoclear融合反应，可能会沉积在积聚中子恒星外壳中的最大可能的热量。
The observed thermal relaxation of transiently accreting neutron stars during quiescence periods in low-mass X-ray binaries suggests the existence of unknown heat sources in the shallow layers of neutron-star crust. Making use of existing experimental nuclear data, we estimate the maximum possible amount of heat that can be deposited in the outer crust of an accreting neutron star due to electron captures and pycnonuclear fusion reactions triggered by the burial of X-ray burst ashes.
