Explaining the thermal emission of old neutron stars with rotochemical heating and magnetized superconducting protons
Luis E. RodrÃguez, Andreas Reisenegger, Denis González-Caniulef +1
The detection of likely thermal ultraviolet emission from a few old neutron stars suggests that at least one internal heating mechanism is present in these stars. One proposed mech…

Neutron star heating vs. HST observations
Luis E. RodrÃguez, Andreas Reisenegger, Denis González-Caniulef +5
Passively cooling neutron stars (NSs) should reach undetectably low surface temperatures K in less than yr. However, HST observations have revealed likely thermal…
