中子星壳层物质弹性性质的研究

Elastic Properties of Nuclear Pasta in Neutron-star Crusts

  • 摘要: 在相对论平均场(RMF)模型框架下,基于托马斯-费米近似研究了中子星物质的弹性性质。具体来说,在三维空间中通过对β平衡下非均匀中子星壳层物质变形来估算其弹性模量,其中在不引入Wigner-Seitz近似的情况下考虑了各种可能的晶体结构。在此基础之上,本工作研究了具有不同对称能斜率(L=41.34和89.39 MeV)的两种情形,发现弹性模量可以变化10倍左右。通过对数值结果的拟合,进一步引入了阻尼因子,改进了中子星壳层物质弹性模量的解析公式。

     

    Abstract: Based on the relativistic mean field (RMF) model with Thomas-Fermi approximation, we investigate the elastic properties of neutron star matter. The elastic constants are estimated by introducing deformations on the nuclear pasta structures in β-equilibrium, where various crystalline configurations are considered in a fully three-dimensional geometry without the Wigner-Seitz approximation. Two scenarios with different symmetry energy slope (L=41.34 and 89.39 MeV) are examined, where the the elastic constants can vary by ten times. By fitting to the numerical results, we improve the analytic formulae for the elastic properties of nuclear pasta by introducing damping factors.
