核子超流动性及其不确定性对中子星冷却的影响

Effect of Nucleon Superfluidity and Its Uncertainty on the Neutron Star Cooling

  • 摘要: 采用AV18两体力结合微观三体力作为Brueckner-Hartree-Fock理论的输入量计算了状态方程,进而基于BCS理论计算了对能隙。理论计算的状态方程和对能隙作为冷却理论的输入量计算了冷却曲线。理论计算的冷却曲线表明,核子超流显著地减小了标准冷却理论和增强冷却理论之间的差异。基于考虑超流核心的增强冷却理论可以很大程度上解释天文观测值。因此,中子星冷却包含很强的直接Urca过程的可能性仍旧不能被排除。

     

    Abstract: We calculate the cooling curves of superfluid neutron stars with the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock (BHF) equation of state (EOS) by employing the AV18 two body force with a microscopic three body force. The gap energy is calculated within the BCS theory, including in the pairing interaction not only two body force but also three body force. The calculated cooling curves show that the nucleon superfluidity strongly reduces the difference between standard and enhanced cooling. This enables one to explain the majority of observational data by the enhanced cooling of the stars with superfluid cores. The possibility of strong direct Urca processes still cannot be excluded from the cooling analysis.
