Neutron Star Cooling
Observation of cooling neutron stars can potentially provide information about the states of matter at supernuclear densities. We review physical properties important for cooling such as neutrino emission processes and superfluidity in the stellar interior, surface envelopes of light elements due to accretion of matter and strong surface magnetic fields. The neutrino processes include the modif...
متن کاملMagnetic Field Evolution During Neutron Star Recycling
I describe work on two aspects of magnetic field evolution relevant for the “recycling” scenario for making millisecond radio pulsars. First, many of the theoretical ideas for bringing about accretion-induced field decay rely on dissipation of currents in the neutron star crust. I discuss field evolution in the crust due to the Hall effect, and outline when it dominates Ohmic decay. This emphas...
متن کاملRotating neutron star models with magnetic field
We present the first numerical solutions of the coupled Einstein-Maxwell equations describing rapidly rotating neutron stars endowed with a magnetic field. These solutions are fully relativistic and self-consistent, all the effects of the electromagnetic field on the star’s equilibrium (Lorentz force, spacetime curvature generated by the electromagnetic stress-energy) being taken into account. ...
متن کاملUnmasking neutron star interiors using cooling simulations
We introduce a new tool for “unmasking” the composition of neutron star (NS) interiors which is based on the fact that the state of matter at high densities determines the statistics of both NS observables, the temperature-age (TA) data as well as the mass distribution. We use modern cooling simulations to extract distributions of NS masses required to reproduce those of the yet sparse data in ...
متن کاملRCW 103 – Revisiting a cooling neutron star
Recent observations of the compact source embedded within the supernova remnant RCW 103 rekindle interest in the origin of this object’s emission. We contrast several models in which neutron-star cooling powers RCW 103. Specifically, either the presence of an accreted envelope or a sufficiently intense magnetic field can account for the X-ray emission from this object. Subject headings: stars: ...
