Comparison between the two compilations of electron capture rates: We start by comparing the EC rates at the lowest values of temperature and density (T 9 =0.01 and Log 10 (  Y e ) = 1.0). Then we compare rates for higher values of density, while keeping T 9 constant. Below are shown the ratios for T 9 =0.01 and Log 10 (  Y e ) = 1.0, 8.0, 9.0 and The color code for these plots is as follows: R  R  1.0 Thick black borders denote stable nuclei.

EC in crusts of accreting neutron stars (models of crust evolution)  Even at the low accretion rates of ~ M solar yr -1, a neutron star can accrete enough material from the secondary to replace its entire crust with ashes of H/He burning not in NSE. The rising electron chemical potential with density as the ashes are pushed deeper in the crust will switch on energetically unfavorable EC transitions. This lowers the nuclear charge and generates heat.  Threshold effects at low temperature cannot be captured accurately in tables. Our analytic implementation of the electron capture phase space is fast enough to be used in real-time inside a reaction network.  This implementation is not susceptible to low-temperature inaccuracies due to the Fermi-Dirac distribution shape (as Gauss-Laguerre quadrature schemes are in the grid region T 9 = when compared to trapezoidal rule schemes). Inaccuracies are only introduced because we evaluate the distortion of the electron wave function at only one “effective” electron energy. Most approximations ignore the Coulomb Correction altogether by setting it to unity over the integration range. By retaining an effective correction we retain the effects of a varying nuclear radius on the phase space (important for a rate compilation sufficiently global over the nuclear chart).

Where we are headed:  Calculating rates with excited states in parent nuclei.  Using these rates in high temperature (T 9 ), high density (Log 10 (  Ye)) conditions in core – collapse supernova simulations. Analytic formulation of rate from state I in parent to state J in daughter: R=(ln2*f)/(ft_value for transition from I to J) Phase space factor: f(T 9,u,w,q) = G eff * F Where: u, w, q are electron chemical potential, capture threshold and capture q-value respectively, in m e c 2 units (electron rest mass). Rising “u” in NS crust allows electrons to overcome unfavorable capture thresholds. For pre-threshold captures important in NS crusts: F(u < w,w = 1) = (w 4 +2qw 3 +q 2 w 2 )(T 9 /5.93)f 1 (z)+(4w 3 +6qw 2 +2q 2 w) (T 9 /5.93) 2 f 2 (z) + (12w 2 +12qw+2q 2 )(T 9 /5.93) 3 f 3 (z)+(24w+12q) (T 9 /5.93) 4 f 4 (z)+24(T 9 /5.93) 5 f 5 (z) For pre-threshold when q < -1 : F(u < w,w = - q) = 2w 2 (T 9 /5.93) 3 f 3 (z)+12w (T 9 /5.93) 4 f 4 (z)+ 24(T 9 /5.93) 5 f 5 (z) Analytic formulation of rate from state I in parent to state J in daughter: R=(ln2*f)/(ft_value for transition from I to J) Phase space factor: f(T 9,u,w,q) = G eff * F Where: u, w, q are electron chemical potential, capture threshold and capture q-value respectively, in m e c 2 units (electron rest mass).

Suppl.42,447 (1980)) GUPTA & MÖLLER (GM) Spherical Independent Particle Model. Experimental input (gs->gs or gs-> low- lying forbidden transitions) included.

Artist’s conception of neutron star EXO (blue sphere). It is part of a binary star system, and its neighboring star (yellow-red sphere) supplies the fuel for the thermonuclear bursts. (Image Credit: NASA) Results of comparisons  At the lowest density some differences arise due to low lying structure (experimental data vs. QRPA). At higher values of Log 10 (  Ye) (e.g. 8.0, 9.0, 10.0) a larger fraction of strength in daughter nuclei is accessed, and more n-rich nuclei can EC. Thus, the observed changes in the calculated rates may be due to:  In FFN deformation for neutron rich nuclei is not taken into account, but it is in GM. Therefore, calculated structure is very different. Significantly deformed neutron orbits can increase the number of states accessible by the electron chemical potential.  For rates in which the initial nucleus is even-even and the final is an odd-odd, g.s.  g.s. may not be allowed via (GT) transition.  Gupta & Möller calculations do not include experimental input. We intend to compare the FFN and GM with available experimental level information.
