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 …

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 …

Measurements with a one-electron quantum cyclotron determine the electron magnetic
moment, given by g/2= 1.001 159 652 180 73 (28)[0.28 ppt], and the fine structure constant …

We show that the direct URCA process can occur in neutron stars if the proton concentration
exceeds some critical value in the range 11–15%. The proton concentration, which is …

Pulsars, generally accepted to be rotating neutron stars, are dense, neutron-packed
remnants of massive stars that blew apart in supernova explosions. They are typically about …

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 …

We study the heat capacity and neutrino emission reactions (direct and modified Urca
processes, nucleon–nucleon bremsstrahlung, Cooper pairing of nucleons) in the …

On the basis of current physical understanding, it is impossible to predict with confidence the
interior constitution of neutron stars. Cooling of neutron stars provides a possible way of …

The possible detection of a compact object in the remnant of SN 1987A presents an
unprecedented opportunity to follow its early evolution. The suspected detection stems from …
