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 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: ...
متن کاملGeminga: A Cooling Superfluid Neutron Star
We compare the recent temperature estimate for Geminga with neutron star cooling models. Because of its age (∼ 3.4 × 10 yr), Geminga is in the photon cooling era. We show that its surface temperature (∼ 5.2× 10 K) can be understood by both types of neutrino cooling scenarios, i.e, slow neutrino cooling by the modified Urca process or fast neutrino cooling by the direct Urca process or by some e...
متن کاملDirect Urca process in strong magnetic fields and neutron star cooling
The effect of the magnetic field on the energy loss rate in the direct Urca reactions is studied. The general expression for the neutrino emissivity at arbitrary magnetic field B is derived. The main emphasis is laid on a case, in which the field is not superstrong, and charged reacting particles (e and p) populate many Landau levels. The magnetic field keeps the process operative if ∆k/kFn . N...
