چکیده
Abstract The hypothesis that neutrons might decay into dark matter is explored using neutron stars as a testing ground. It found in order to obtain with masses at the upper end of those observed, must experience relatively strong self-interaction. Conservation baryon number and energy then require star undergo some heating, decrease radius, leading an increase speed rotation over period days.

Magnetic Field Decay in Isolated Neutron Stars
We investigate three mechanisms that promote the loss of magnetic flux from an isolated neutron star. Ohmic decay produces a diffusion of the magnetic field with respect to the charged particles. It proceeds at a rate that is inversely proportional to the electric conductivity and independent of the magnetic field strength. Ohmic decay occurs in both the fluid core and solid crust of a neutron ...
متن کاملProto-neutron and Neutron Stars
It has been shown that effective chiral hadronic models can satisfactorily describe nuclear matter, properties of finite nuclei as well as the structure of neutron stars1. While most of the approaches are based on variations of the linear sigma model or its non-linear realization, in the approach discussed here the scalar sigma meson serves to split the nucleon and its chiral partner (particle ...
متن کاملSpin and Isospin Asymmetry, Equation of State and Neutron Stars
In the present work, we have obtained the equation of state for neutron star matter considering the in uence of the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic spin state. We have also investigated the structure of neutron stars. According to our results, the spin asymmetry stiens the equation of state and leads to high mass for the neutron star.
متن کاملPossible Signatures of Quark-hadron Phase Transitions inside Neutron Stars
The sky has long been a successful test ground and discovery site for fundamental physics. Examples include the discovery of Helium from the solar spectrum in 1868, evidence for gravity waves from binary pulsars 1 in 1978, and more recently in 1985, the discovery of Bucky Balls (C60), though not directly in the sky, through experiments designed to simulate environments near stars in favor of fo...
متن کاملNeutron Stars
9 Black holes and neutron stars are fascinating objects with great potential for testing physical theories in extreme conditions. The gravitational fields near these objects provide an opportunity for tests of General Relativity in the strong-field limit and the properties of matter at the remarkably high densities that exist within neutron stars are unknown. While many of these objects are in ...
