This result undoubtedly not only influences the cooling of neutron stars and the X-ray luminosity observed of neutron stars but also the evolution of neutron stars.展开更多

We also discuss in detail the discrepant factor between our results and those of Fushiki, Gudmundsson and Pethick (FGP) in SMF. The results show that SMF has only a slight effect on ES when B 〈 10^9 T on the surfaces of most neutron stars. Whereas for some magnetars, SMF influence ES greatly when B 〉 10^9 T . For instance, due to SMF the ES potential may be increased about 23.6% and the EEC may be increased about 4 orders of magnitude at ρ/μe = 1.0 × 10^6 mol/cm^3 and T9 = 1. On the other hand, the discrepant factor shows that our results are in good agreement with FGP's when B 〈 10^9 T . But the difference will be increased with increasing SMF.展开更多

The obtained result shows that the superstrong magnetic fields can increase the nuclear energy generation rates by many orders of magnitude. The enhancement may have a significant influence for further study of the magnetars, especially for the cooling, the x-ray luminosity observation and the evolution of the magnetars.展开更多

The rates of change of electronic fraction (RCEF) in the EC process are also discussed. The results show that the EC rates increase greatly and even exceeds by 4 orders of magnitude (e.g. 54Fe, 55Fe and 56Fe) in SMF. On the contrary, the RCEF decreases largely and even exceeds by 5 orders of magnitude in the SMF.展开更多

文摘This paper shows that superstrong magnetic fields (such as those of magnetars) can increase the energy generation rate many times in the crust of neutron stars. This result undoubtedly not only influences the cooling of neutron stars and the X-ray luminosity observed of neutron stars but also the evolution of neutron stars.
