The physics of neutron stars
TL;DR: Observations that include studies of pulsars in binary systems, thermal emission from isolated neutron stars, glitches from pulsars, and quasi-periodic oscillations from accreting neutron stars provide information about neutron star masses, radii, temperatures, ages, and internal compositions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Minimal Cooling of Neutron Stars: A New Paradigm
TL;DR: In this paper, a new classification of neutron star cooling scenarios, involving either "minimal" cooling or "enhanced" cooling, is proposed, which is distinguished from enhanced cooling by the absence of neutrino emission from any direct Urca process, due either to nucleons or to exotica such as hyperons or deconfined quarks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neutrino emission from neutron stars
TL;DR: In this article, the main neutrino emission mechanisms in neutron star crusts and cores are reviewed, and the results are presented in the form convenient for practical use, including the effects of various neutrinos reactions on the cooling of neutron stars.
Journal ArticleDOI
Realistic effective interactions for nuclear systems
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of perturbative many-body descriptions of several nuclear systems is presented, including symmetric and asymmetric nuclear matter and finite nuclei with few valence particles.

From hadrons to quarks in neutron stars: a review.
Gordon Baym,Tetsuo Hatsuda,Toru Kojo,Toru Kojo,Philip D. Powell,Philip D. Powell,Yifan Song,Tatsuyuki Takatsuka +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the structure of neutron stars constructed from the unified equations of states with crossover, and present the current equations of state-called "QHC18" for quark-hadron crossover-in a parametrized form practical for neutron star modeling.

Strange goings on in dense nucleonic matter
David B. Kaplan,Ann E. Nelson +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that at somewhat higher densities one finds a charged kaon condensate, driven to a large extent by the stgma term interaction with baryons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure of neutron star envelopes
TL;DR: In this paper, the thermal structure of nonmagnetic neutron star envelopes is determined by the single parameter T(s to the 4th/g(s), where T is the effective surface temperature and g(s) the surface gravity of the star.

Neutrino emissivities of neutron stars.
Bengt Friman,O.V. Maxwell +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the neutrino mean free path arising from a reaction related to the Urca process is calculated, and the influence of finite neutrinos mean free paths and nucleon superfluidity on neutrini emissivities is briefly discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Model atmospheres for cooling neutron stars
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the effect of various surface compositions on the blackbody assumption, calculating model atmospheres for the physical conditions typical of neutron star surfaces with realistic opacities.
