TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the results of 2D simulations of the fully-coupled evolution of temperature and magnetic field in neutron stars, including the state-of-the-art kinetic coefficients and, for the first time, the important effect of the Hall term.

TL;DR: In this paper, the thermal and chemical evolution during the Kelvin-Helmholtz phase of the birth of a neutron star, employing neutrino opacities that are consistently calculated with the underlying equation of state (EOS), is studied.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the mutual influence of thermal and magnetic evoluti on in a neutron star's crust in axial symmetry, and showed that the feedback between Joule heating and magnetic diffusion is strong, resulting in a faster dissipation of the stronger fields during the first 10 5 − 10 6 years of a star's life.

TL;DR: In this article, the mass, radius, and surface composition of the nearby compact object RX J185635-3754 from its multi-wavelength spectral energy distribution were determined from existing and new observations from ROSAT, Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer, and the Hubble Space Telescope.
