Minimal Cooling of Neutron Stars: A New Paradigm
- D. Page, J. Lattimer, M. Prakash, A. Steiner

A new classification of neutron star cooling scenarios, involving either "minimal" cooling or "enhanced" cooling, is proposed. The minimal cooling scenario replaces and extends the so-called standard…
Long Type I X-Ray Bursts and Neutron Star Interior Physics

Two types of long-duration type I X-ray bursts have been discovered by long-term monitoring observations of accreting neutron stars: superbursts and ``intermediate duration'' bursts. We investigate…

NEUTRINO EMISSION FROM COOPER PAIRS AND MINIMAL COOLING OF NEUTRON STARS
- D. Page, J. Lattimer, M. Prakash, A. Steiner

- 9 June 2009
The minimal cooling paradigm for neutron star cooling assumes that enhanced cooling due to neutrino emission from any direct Urca process, due either to nucleons or to exotica such as hyperons, Bose…
Charting the Temperature of the Hot Neutron Star in a Soft X-Ray Transient

We explore the thermal evolution of a neutron star undergoing episodes of intense accretion, separated by long periods of quiescence. By using an exact cooling code, we follow in detail the flow of…
Rapid cooling of the neutron star in Cassiopeia A triggered by neutron superfluidity in dense matter.
- D. Page, M. Prakash, J. Lattimer, A. Steiner
- PhysicsPhysical Review Letters
- 29 November 2010
We propose that the observed cooling of the neutron star in Cassiopeia A is due to enhanced neutrino emission from the recent onset of the breaking and formation of neutron Cooper pairs in the…
Temperature distribution in magnetized neutron star crusts

The effect of axisymmetric dipolar fields which are either restricted to the stellar crust, “crustal fields”, or allowed to penetrate the core, “core fields”, on the temperature distribution in…

Observations of thermal radiation from neutron stars can potentially provide information about the states of supranuclear matter in the interiors of these stars with the aid of the theory of…
Dynamical Evolution of Neutrino-cooled Accretion Disks: Detailed Microphysics, Lepton-driven Convection, and Global Energetics
- William H. Lee, E. Ramirez-Ruiz, D. Page

We present a detailed, two-dimensional numerical study of the microphysical conditions and dynamical evolution of accretion disks around black holes when neutrino emission is the main source of…
Period Clustering of the Anomalous X-Ray Pulsars and Magnetic Field Decay in Magnetars
- M. Colpi, U. Geppert, D. Page
- PhysicsAstrophysical Journal
- 3 December 1999
It is argued that, if the AXPs are interpreted as magnetars, their clustering of spin periods between 6 and 12 s, their period derivatives, their thermal X-ray luminosities, and the association of two of them with young supernova remnants can only be understood globally if the magnetic field in magnetars decays significantly on a timescale of the order of 104 yr.
