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…
Evolution of Proto-Neutron stars with kaon condensates
Jose A. Pons, Juan A. Miralles, M. Prakash +1
We present simulations of the evolution of a proto-neutron star in which kaon-condensed matter might exist, including the effects of finite temperature and trapped neutrinos. The p…
Neutron Star Structure and the Equation of State
J. M. Lattimer, M. Prakash
The structure of neutron stars is considered from theoretical and observational perspectives. We demonstrate an important aspect of neutron star structure: the neutron star radius…
Nuclear Matter and its Role in Supernovae, Neutron Stars and Compact Object Binary Mergers
James M. Lattimer, Madappa Prakash
The equation of state (EOS) of dense matter plays an important role in the supernova phenomenon, the structure of neutron stars, and in the mergers of compact objects (neutron star…
The Equation of State of Neutron-Star Matter in Strong Magnetic Fields
A. Broderick, M. Prakash, J. M. Lattimer
We study the effects of very strong magnetic fields on the equation of state (EOS) in multicomponent, interacting matter by developing a covariant description for the inclusion of…
Probing the Neutron Star Interior with Glitches
Bennett Link, Richard I. Epstein, James M. Lattimer
With the aim of constraining the structural properties of neutron stars and the equation of state of dense matter, we study sudden spin-ups, glitches, occurring in the Vela pulsar…
