Evolution of a Neutron Star From its Birth to Old Age
M. Prakash, J. M. Lattimer, J. A. Pons +2
The main stages in the evolution of a neutron star, from its birth as a proto-neutron star, to its old age as a cold, catalyzed configuration, are described. A proto-neutron star i…

Neutrino Opacities at High Density and the Protoneutron Star Evolution
S. Reddy, J. Pons, M. Prakash +1
The early evolution of a protoneutron star depends both on the equation of state and neutrino interactions at high density. We identify the important sources of neutrino opacity an…

Neutrinos from Protoneutron Stars
S. Reddy, J. Pons, M. Prakash +1
We study the diffusive transport of neutrinos in a newly born neutron star to explore its sensitivity to dense matter properties. Energy and lepton number which are trapped during…
