Studies of Degenerate Stars

该基金支持研究者及其团队对凝聚态天体物理学物理过程的理论研究。研究的性质包括：(1)中子星的磁浮力、超流体振荡和脉冲星调制；(2)热白矮星和冷白矮星的质量损失效应和相分离；(3)褐矮星的演化与相分离。所有这些领域都是当前研究成果的直接延伸。

This grant supports the investigator and his group in theoretical investigations of physical processes in condensed matter astrophysics. The properties studied include: (1) magnetic buoyancy, superfluid oscillations, and pulsar modulation in neutron stars; (2) mass-loss effects and phase separation in hot and cool white dwarfs; and (3) the evolution of and phase separation in brown dwarf stars. All of these areas are direct extensions of a current research effort.
