X-ray bounds on cooling, composition, and magnetic field of the Cassiopeia A neutron star and young central compact objects

Wynn C. G. Ho, Yue Zhao, Craig O. Heinke +3

We present analysis of multiple Chandra and XMM-Newton spectra, separated by 9-19 years, of four of the youngest central compact objects (CCOs) with ages < 2500 yr: CXOU J232327.9+…

Model-independent constraints on superfluidity from the cooling neutron star in Cassiopeia A

Peter S. Shternin, Dmitry D. Ofengeim, Wynn C. G. Ho +3

We present a new model-independent (applicable for a broad range of equations of state) analysis of the neutrino emissivity due to triplet neutron pairing in neutron star cores. We…

The effect of diffusive nuclear burning in neutron star envelopes on cooling in accreting systems

M. J. P Wijngaarden, Wynn C. G. Ho, Philip Chang +6

Valuable information about the neutron star interior can be obtained by comparing observations of thermal radiation from a cooling neutron star crust with theoretical models. Nucle…

Early neutron star evolution in high-mass X-ray binaries

Wynn C. G. Ho, M. J. P. Wijngaarden, Nils Andersson +2

The application of standard accretion theory to observations of X-ray binaries provides valuable insights into neutron star properties, such as their spin period and magnetic field…

Cooling of the Cassiopeia A neutron star and the effect of diffusive nuclear burning

Wynn C. G. Ho, M. J. P. Wijngaarden, Philip Chang +4

The study of how neutron stars cool over time can provide invaluable insights into fundamental physics such as the nuclear equation of state and superconductivity and superfluidity…

Diffusive nuclear burning in cooling simulations and application to new temperature data of the Cassiopeia A neutron star

M. J. P. Wijngaarden, Wynn C. G. Ho, Philip Chang +4

A critical relation in the study of neutron star cooling is the one between surface temperature and interior temperature. This relation is determined by the composition of the neut…
