Neutrino emission from neutron stars
DG Yakovlev, AD Kaminker, OY Gnedin, P Haensel - Physics Reports, 2001 - Elsevier
We review the main neutrino emission mechanisms in neutron star crusts and cores. Among
them are the well-known reactions such as the electron–positron annihilation, plasmon …

Minimal cooling of neutron stars: A New paradigm
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 …

The cooling of compact stars
The cooling of a compact star depends very sensitively on the state of matter at supranuclear
densities, which essentially controls the neutrino emission, as well as on the structure of the …
