Joule Heating in Neutron Stars under Strong Gravitation
Considering Joule heating caused by the dissipation of the magnetic field in the neutron star crust to be an efficient mechanism in maintaining a relatively high surface temperature in very old neutron stars, the role of general relativity is investigated. It is found that, although the effect of space-time curvature produced by the intense gravitational field of the star slows down the decay r...
متن کاملNeutron star long term cooling - Joule heating in magnetized neutron stars
We present two-dimensional simulations for the cooling of neutron stars with strong magnetic fields (B ≥ 1013 G). We study how the cooling curves are influenced by magnetic field decay. We show that the Joule heating effects are very large and in some cases control the thermal evolution. We characterize the temperature anisotropy induced by the magnetic field and predict the surface temperature...
متن کاملModels of crustal heating in accreting neutron stars
Aims. Heating associated with non-equilibrium nuclear reactions in accreting neutron-star crusts is reconsidered, taking into account suppression of neutrino losses demonstrated recently by Gupta et al. Two initial compositions of the nuclear burning ashes, Ai = 56 and Ai = 106, are considered. Dependence of the integrated crustal heating on uncertainties plaguing pycnonuclear reaction models i...
متن کاملResonant Oscillations and Tidal Heating in Coalescing Binary Neutron Stars
Tidal interaction in a coalescing neutron star binary can resonantly excite the g-mode oscillations of the neutron star when the frequency of the tidal driving force equals the intrinsic g-mode frequencies. We study the g-mode oscillations of cold neutron stars using recent microscopic nuclear equations of state, where we determine self-consistently the sound speed and Brunt-Väisälä frequency i...
متن کاملMagnetars as cooling neutron stars with internal heating
We study thermal structure and evolution of magnetars as cooling neutron stars with a phenomenological heat source in a spherical internal layer. We explore the location of this layer as well as the heating rate that could explain high observable thermal luminosities of magnetars and would be consistent with the energy budget of neutron stars. We conclude that the heat source should be located ...
