Cooling of neutron stars: effects of accreted envelopes, magnetic field and crustal superfluidity
G. Chabrier, A. Y. Potekhin, D. G. Yakovlev
We briefly review recent theoretical studies of the effects of accreted envelopes, magnetic fields and crustal superfluidity on the cooling of neutron stars. These effects are espe…
Thermal states of coldest and hottest neutron stars in soft X-ray transients
D. G. Yakovlev, K. P. Levenfish, A. Y. Potekhin +2
We calculate the thermal structure and quiescent thermal luminosity of accreting neutron stars (warmed by deep crustal heating in accreted matter) in soft X-ray transients (SXTs).…
Neutron star cooling: Theoretical aspects and observational constraints
D. G. Yakovlev, O. Y. Gnedin, A. D. Kaminker +2
The cooling theory of isolated neutron stars is reviewed. The main cooling regulators are discussed, first of all, operation of direct Urca process (or similar processes in exotic…
Pycnonuclear burning and accreting neutron stars
D. G. Yakovlev, K. P. Levenfish
We outline the phenomenon of deep crustal heating in transiently accreting neutron stars. It is produced by nuclear transformations (mostly, by pycnonuclear reactions) in accreted…
Cooling of superfluid neutron stars with muons
M. Bejger, D. G. Yakovlev, O. Y. Gnedin
We extend our modeling of cooling of superfluid neutron stars by including the production of muons in the core, in addition to neutrons, protons, and electrons. The results are con…
Cooling of Superfluid Neutron Stars
D. G. Yakovlev, O. Y. Gnedin, A. D. Kaminker +1
Cooling of neutron stars (NSs) with the cores composed of neutrons, protons, and electrons is analyzed. The main cooling regulators are discussed: opening of direct Urca process in…
