The Strange Star Surface: A Crust with Nuggets
Prashanth Jaikumar, Sanjay Reddy, Andrew W. Steiner
We reexamine the surface composition of strange stars. Strange quark stars are hypothetical compact stars which could exist if strange quark matter was absolutely stable. It is wid…
Novel Phases at High Density and their Roles in the Structure and Evolution of Neutron Stars
Sanjay Reddy
We present a pedagogic discussion on the role of novel phases of dense baryonic matter in ``neutron'' stars. Qualitative aspects of the physics that drives phase transitions and so…
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…
