Role of magnetic interactions in neutron stars

Abstract

In this work, we present a calculation of the non-Fermi liquid correction to the specific heat of magnetized degenerate quark matter present at the core of the neutron star. The role of non-Fermi liquid corrections to the neutrino emissivity has been calculated beyond leading order. We extend our result to the evaluation of the pulsar kick velocity and cooling of the star due to such anomalous corrections and present a comparison with the simple Fermi liquid case.Comment: 6 pages, Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on New Frontiers in Physics, Kolymbari, Crete, Greece (matches published version
