Axion miniclusters and Bose stars.

Evolution of inhomogeneities in the axion field around the QCD epoch is studied numerically, including for the first time important nonlinear effects. It is found that perturbations on scales corresponding to causally disconnected regions at T ∼ 1GeV can lead to very dense axion clumps, with present density ρa > ∼ 10 g cm. This is high enough for the collisional 2a → 2a process to lead to Bose–...

magnetized degenerate stars cooling by axion emission ?

We considered recently as a new axion production mechanism the process e − → e − +a in a strong magnetic field B. Requiring that for a strongly magnetized neutron star the axion luminosity is smaller than the neutrino luminosity we obtained the bound g ae < ∼ 10 −10 for the axion electron coupling constant. This limit is considerably weaker than the bound derived earlier by Borisov and Grishina...

Thermonuclear fusion in dense stars

We study the plasma correlation effects on nonresonant thermonuclear reactions of carbon and oxygen in the interiors of white dwarfs and liquid envelopes of neutron stars. We examine the effects of electron screening on thermodynamic enhancement of thermonuclear reactions in dense plasmas beyond the linear mixing rule. Using these improved enhancement factors, we calculate carbon and oxygen ign...

Neutrino Emissivity of Dense Stars

The neutrino emissivity of compact stars is investigated in this work. We consider stars consisting of nuclear as well as quark matter for this purpose. Different models are used to calculate the composition of nuclear and quark matter and the neutrino emissivity. Depending on the model under consideration, the neutrino emissivity of nuclear as well as quark matter varies over a wide range. We ...

Anomalous Axion Interactions and Topological Currents in Dense Matter

Recently an effective Lagrangian for the interactions of photons, Nambu-Goldstone bosons and superfluid phonons in dense quark matter has been derived using anomaly matching arguments. In this paper we illuminate the nature of certain anomalous terms in this Lagrangian by an explicit microscopic calculation. We also generalize the corresponding construction to introduce the axion field. We deri...
