The internal properties of the neutron star crust can be probed by observing the epoch of thermal relaxation. After the supernova explosion, powerful neutrino emission quickly cools the stellar core,...
Cooling Neutron Stars With Accreted Envelopes (2007)
Gilles Chabrier, Er Y. Potekhin, Dmitry G. Yakovlev
The relationships between the effective surface temperature T eff and internal temperature T b of nonmagnetized neutron stars with and without accreted envelopes are calculated for T eff ? 5 \Theta...
Thermal Structure and Cooling of Superfluid Neutron Stars with Accreted Magnetized Envelopes (2003)
Alexander Y. Potekhin, Dmitry G. Yakovlev, Gilles Chabrier, Oleg Y. Gnedin
We study the thermal structure of neutron stars with magnetized envelopes composed of accreted material, using updated thermal conductivities of plasmas in quantizing magnetic fields, as well as the...
Thermal Relaxation in Young Neutron Stars (2000)
Gnedin, Oleg Y., Yakovlev, Dmitry G., Potekhin, Alexander Y.
The internal properties of the neutron star crust can be probed by observing the epoch of thermal relaxation. After the supernova explosion, powerful neutrino emission quickly cools the stellar core,...
