MAPPING CRUSTAL HEATING WITH THE COOLING LIGHT CURVES OF QUASI-PERSISTENT TRANSIENTS
The monitoring of quiescent emission from neutron star transients with accretion outbursts long enough to significantly heat the neutron star crust has opened a new vista onto the physics of dense matter. In this paper we construct models of the thermal relaxation of the neutron star crust following the end …
