Rapid cooling of magnetized neutron stars
The neutrino emissivities resulting from direct URCA processes in neutron
stars are calculated in a relativistic Dirac-Hartree approach in presence of a
magnetic field. In a quark or a hyperon matter environment, the emissivity due
to nucleon direct URCA processes is suppressed relative to that from pure
nuclear matter. In all the cases studied, the magnetic field enhances
emissivity compared to the field-free cases.Comment: 9 pages; Revtex; figure include
Bose-Einstein condensation in dense nuclear matter and strong magnetic fields
Bose-Einstein condensation of antikaons in cold and dense beta-equilibrated
matter under the influence of strong magnetic fields is studied within a
relativistic mean field model. For magnetic fields G, the
phase spaces of charged particles are modified resulting in compositional
changes in the system. The threshold density of condensation is shifted
to higher density compared with the field free case. In the presence of strong
fields, the equation of state becomes stiffer than that of the zero field case.Comment: Published in Journal of Physics G28, 2179 (2002
