Crust cooling of the neutron star in Aql X-1: different depth and magnitude of shallow heating during similar accretion outbursts

ABSTRACT The structure and composition of the crust of neutron stars plays an important role in their thermal and magnetic evolution, hence in setting their observational properties. One way to study the properties of the crust of a neutron star, is to measure how it cools after it has been heated d...
