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…
Prospects of Detecting Baryon and Quark Superfluidity from Cooling Neutron Stars
Dany Page, Madappa Prakash, James M. Lattimer +1
Baryon and quark superfluidity in the cooling of neutron stars are investigated. Observations could constrain combinations of the neutron or Lambda-hyperon pairing gaps and the sta…
Quark-Hadron Phase Transitions in Young and Old Neutron Stars
A. Steiner, M. Prakash, J. M. Lattimer
The mixed phase of quarks and hadrons which might exist in the dense matter encountered in the varying conditions of temperature and trapped neutrino fraction in proto-neutron star…
Kaon Condensation in Proto-Neutron Star Matter
J. A. Pons, S. Reddy, P. J. Ellis +2
We study the equation of state (EOS) of kaon-condensed matter including the effects of temperature and trapped neutrinos. It is found that the order of the phase transition to a ka…
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…
