Cooling of Hybrid Neutron Stars and Hypothetical Self-bound Objects with Superconducting Quark Cores
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the consequences of superconducting quark cores (with color-flavor-locked phase as representative example) for evolution of temperature profiles and the cooling curves in quark-hadron hybrid stars and in hypothetical self-bounded objects having no a hadron shell (quark core neutron stars). The quark gaps are varied from 0 to ∆q = 50 MeV. For hybrid stars we find time scales of 1÷5, 5÷10 and 50÷100 years for the formation of a quasistationary temperature distribution in the cases ∆q = 0, 0.1 MeV and > ∼ 1 MeV, respectively. These time scales are governed by the heat transport within quark cores for large diquark gaps (∆ > ∼ 1 MeV) and within the hadron shell for small diquark gaps (∆ < ∼ 0.1 MeV). For quark core neutron stars we find a time scale ≃ 300 years for the formation of a quasistationary temperature distribution in the case ∆ > ∼ 10 MeV and a very short one for ∆ < ∼ 1 MeV. If hot young compact objects will be observed they can be interpreted as manifestation of large gap color superconductivity. Depending on the size of the pairing gaps, the compact star takes different paths in the lgTs vs. lgt diagram where Ts is the surface temperature. Compared to the corresponding hadronic model which well fits existing data the model for the hybrid neutron star (with a large diquark gap) shows too fast cooling. The same conclusion can be drawn for the corresponding self-bound objects.

Cooling of Neutron Stars with Color Superconducting Quark Cores
We show that within a recently developed nonlocal chiral quark model the critical density for a phase transition to color superconducting quark matter under neutron star conditions can be low enough for these phases to occur in compact star configurations with masses below 1.3 M⊙. We study the cooling of these objects in isolation for different values of the gravitational mass and argue that, i...

We show that within a recently developed nonlocal, chiral quark model the critical densities for a phase transition to color superconducting quark matter under neutron star conditions can be low enough that these phases occur in compact star configurations with masses below 1.4 M⊙. We study the cooling of these objects in isolation for different values of the gravitational mass and thus differe...

We discuss a set of tests which confront observations of cooling compact objects and theories of their thermal evolution. As an example we apply the recently developed LogNLog S test of compact star cooling theories to hybrid stars with a color superconducting quark matter core, we also apply and discuss other existing tests. While there is not yet a microscopically founded superconducting quar...

متن کاملOn the maximum rotational frequency of neutron and hybrid stars
We construct self-consistent equilibrium sequences of general relativistic, rotating neutron star models. Special emphasis in put on the determination of the maximum rotation frequency of such objects. Recently proposed models for the equation of state of neutron star matter are employed, which are derived by describing the hadronic phase within the many-body Brueckner–Bethe–Goldstone formalism...
