Thermal states of coldest and hottest neutron stars in soft X-ray transients
D. G. Yakovlev, K. P. Levenfish, A. Y. Potekhin +2
We calculate the thermal structure and quiescent thermal luminosity of accreting neutron stars (warmed by deep crustal heating in accreted matter) in soft X-ray transients (SXTs).…
Neutron star cooling: Theoretical aspects and observational constraints
D. G. Yakovlev, O. Y. Gnedin, A. D. Kaminker +2
The cooling theory of isolated neutron stars is reviewed. The main cooling regulators are discussed, first of all, operation of direct Urca process (or similar processes in exotic…
Pycnonuclear burning and accreting neutron stars
D. G. Yakovlev, K. P. Levenfish
We outline the phenomenon of deep crustal heating in transiently accreting neutron stars. It is produced by nuclear transformations (mostly, by pycnonuclear reactions) in accreted…
A simple model of cooling neutron stars with superfluid cores: comparison with observations
K. P. Levenfish, Yu. A. Shibanov, D. G. Yakovlev
Cooling of neutron stars (NSs) with superfluid cores is simulated taking into account neutrino emission produced by Cooper pairing of nucleons. The critical temperatures of neutron…
Standard and Enhanced Cooling of Neutron Stars with Superfluid Cores
K. P. Levenfish, D. G. Yakovlev
Calculations are performed of the cooling of neutron stars with standard and enhanced neutrino energy losses in the presence of neutron and proton superfluidities in the stellar co…
