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…
