Neutron star crust cooling in KS 1731−260: the influence of accretion outburst variability on the crustal temperature evolution

Using a theoretical model, we track the thermal evolution of a cooling neutron star crust after an accretion-induced heating period with the goal of constraining the crustal parameters. We present for the first time a crust cooling model – NSCool – that takes into account detailed variability during...
