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…
Cooling of superfluid neutron stars with muons
M. Bejger, D. G. Yakovlev, O. Y. Gnedin
We extend our modeling of cooling of superfluid neutron stars by including the production of muons in the core, in addition to neutrons, protons, and electrons. The results are con…
Cooling of Superfluid Neutron Stars
D. G. Yakovlev, O. Y. Gnedin, A. D. Kaminker +1
Cooling of neutron stars (NSs) with the cores composed of neutrons, protons, and electrons is analyzed. The main cooling regulators are discussed: opening of direct Urca process in…
Do globular clusters time the Universe?
Oleg Y. Gnedin, Ofer Lahav, Martin J. Rees
Estimating the age of the Universe is an old problem. Rapid progress in observational cosmology in recent years has led to more accurate values of the fundamental parameters. The c…
Strongly coupled Coulomb and nuclear plasma in inner crusts of neutron stars
D. G. Yakovlev, O. Y. Gnedin, A. Y. Potekhin
Matter of subnuclear density in the inner crusts of neutron stars consists of neutron-rich atomic nuclei immersed in strongly degenerate relativistic gas of electrons and strongly…
