Formed in the aftermath of gravitational core-collapse supernova explosions, neutron stars
are unique cosmic laboratories for probing the properties of matter under extreme conditions …

The question about the origin of the elements is a fascinating one, that scientists have been
trying to answer for the last seven decades. The formation of light elements in the primordial …

In this work, we investigate the equilibrium configurations of massive white dwarfs (MWD) in
the context of modified gravity, namely\(f (\mathtt {R, L_m})\) gravity, where\(\mathtt {R}\) …

In this paper we compute models for relativistic white dwarfs in the presence of strong
magnetic fields. These models possibly contribute to superluminous SNIa. With an assumed …

Context. X-ray observations of soft X-ray transients in quiescence suggest the existence of
heat sources in the crust of accreted neutron stars. Heat is thought to be released by …

The advent of space-based gravitational-wave detectors like the Laser Interferometer Space
Antenna will allow us to observe signals, most of which are expected to be emitted by white …

Context. The accretion of matter onto the surface of a neutron star in a low-mass X-ray binary
triggers X-ray bursts, whose ashes are buried and further processed thus altering the …

In this work, we study the properties of strongly magnetized white dwarfs (WDs), taking into
account the electron capture and pycnonuclear fusion reactions instabilities. The structure of …

The outer crust of a cold nonaccreting neutron star has been generally assumed to be
stratified into different layers, each of which consists of a pure body-centered cubic ionic …

We develop a detailed and self-consistent numerical model, assuming a poloidal magnetic
field, for extremely magnetized white dwarfs, which have been proposed as progenitors of …
