Internal heating and thermal emission from old neutron stars: Constraints on dense-matter and gravitational physics
Andreas Reisenegger, Rodrigo Fernandez, Paula Jofre
The equilibrium composition of neutron star matter is achieved through weak interactions (direct and inverse beta decays), which proceed on relatively long time scales. If the dens…
Rotochemical Heating of Neutron Stars: Rigorous Formalism with Electrostatic Potential Perturbations
Andreas Reisenegger, Paula Jofre, Rodrigo Fernandez +1
The electrostatic potential that keeps approximate charge neutrality in neutron star matter is self-consistently introduced into the formalism for rotochemical heating presented in…
Constraining a possible time-variation of the gravitational constant through "gravitochemical heating" of neutron stars
Paula Jofre, Andreas Reisenegger, Rodrigo Fernandez
A hypothetical time-variation of the gravitational constant would cause neutron star matter to depart from beta equilibrium, due to the changing hydrostatic equilibrium. This f…
