Radio pulsars provide us with some of the most stable clocks in the universe. Nevertheless
several pulsars exhibit sudden spin-up events, known as glitches. More than forty years after …

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 …

Recent equations of state for dense nuclear matter are discussed with possible phase
transitions arising in neutron stars such as pion, kaon and hyperon condensation …

The properties of isospin-asymmetric nuclear matter have been investigated in the
framework of the extended Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approximation at zero temperature. Self …

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

We present a case study for the relevance of the r-mode instability for accreting compact
stars. Our estimates are based on approximations that facilitate" back of the envelope" …

Neutron stars cooling passively since their birth may be reheated in their late-stage
evolution by a number of possible phenomena; rotochemical, vortex creep, crust cracking …

If dark matter has a sizable scattering cross section with nucleons, it can efficiently be
captured by a neutron star. Its energy is then transferred to the neutron star as heat through …

After a brief introduction we present a progress report on the recent works carried out during
the last ten years or so, on the thermal evolution of neutron stars and related problems. The …

The core of a neutron star contains several species of particles, whose relative equilibrium
concentrations are determined by the local density. As the star spins down, its centrifugal …
