The Minimal Cooling of Neutron Stars
Dany Page
A general overview of the main physical processes driving the cooling of an isolated neutron star is presented. Among the most important ones are the various possible neutrino emis…
Neutron star cooling in transiently accreting low mass binaries: a new tool for probing nuclear matter
Andrea Possenti, Monica Colpi, Dany Page +1
We explore, using an exact cooling code, the thermal evolution of a neutron star undergoing episodes of intense accretion, alternated by long periods of quiescence (e.g. Soft X-Ray…
General relativistic treatment of the thermal, magnetic and rotational evolution of neutron stars with crustal magnetic fields
D. Page, U. Geppert, T. Zannias
We investigate the thermal, magnetic and rotational evolution of isolated neutron stars assuming that the dipolar magnetic field is confined to the crust. Our treatment, for the fi…
Magneto-rotational and thermal evolution of magnetars with crustal magnetic fields
U. Geppert, D. Page, M. Colpi +1
Soft Gamma-ray Repeaters (SGRs) and Anomalous X-ray Pulsars (AXPs) are interpreted as young highly magnetized neutron stars (NSs). Their X-ray luminosity in quiescence, exceeding 1…
Thermal Evolution of Isolated Neutron Stars. II
Dany Page
After a brief summary of neutron star cooling theory I present results which emphasize the importance of baryon pairing in the neutron star core. I show how the thermal evolution m…
Thermal Evolution of Isolated Neutron Stars
Dany Page
I give a general overview of the theory of neutron star cooling, emphasizing the intuitive understanding of the effects of the various physical ingredients, including the recently…
