Axion cooling of neutron stars
Armen Sedrakian
Cooling simulations of neutron stars and their comparison with the data from thermally emitting x-ray sources put constraints on the properties of axions, and by extension of any l…
Spin-polarized neutron matter: Critical unpairing and BCS-BEC precursor
Martin Stein, Armen Sedrakian, Xu-Guang Huang +1
We obtain the critical magnetic field required for complete destruction of -wave pairing in neutron matter, thereby setting limits on the pairing and superfluidity of neutrons i…
Cooling compact stars and phase transitions in dense QCD
Armen Sedrakian
We report new simulations of cooling of compact stars containing quark cores and updated fits to the Cas A fast cooling data. Our model is built on the assumption that the transien…
Spin diffusive modes and thermal transport in neutron star crusts
Armen Sedrakian, John W. Clark
In this contribution we first review a method for obtaining the collective modes of pair-correlated neutron matter as found in a neutron star inner crust. We discuss two classes of…
Magnetar superconductivity versus magnetism: neutrino cooling processes
Monika Sinha, Armen Sedrakian
We describe the microphysics, phenomenology, and astrophysical implication of a -field induced unpairing effect that may occur in magnetars, if the local -field in the core o…
