Coulomb plasmas in outer envelopes of neutron stars
A. Y. Potekhin, G. Chabrier, D. G. Yakovlev
Abstract
Outer envelopes of neutron stars consist mostly of fully ionized, strongly coupled Coulomb plasmas characterized by typical densities about 104-1011 g/cc and temperatures about 104-109 K. Many neutron stars possess magnetic fields about 1011-1014 G. Here we briefly review recent theoretical advances which allow one to calculate thermodynamic functions and electron transport coefficients for such plasmas with an accuracy required for theoretical interpretation of observations.
