Cooling of a Compact Star with a LOFF Matter Core
arXiv:hep-ph/0610404 · doi:10.1134/S1063779608070332
Abstract
Specific heat and neutrino emissivity due to direct URCA processes for quark matter in the color superconductive Larkin-Ovchinnikov-Fulde-Ferrell (LOFF) phase of Quantum-Chromodynamics have been evaluated. The cooling rate of simplified models of compact stars with a LOFF matter core is estimated.
