Improbability of DUrca process constraints EOS
نویسندگان
چکیده
According to recent observational and theoretical progresses, the DUrca process (direct Urca process) may be excluded from the category of neutron star cooling mechanisms. This result combined with the latest nuclear symmetry energy experiments, will provide us an independent way of testing the EOS (equation of state) for supernuclear density. For example, soft EOSs such as FPS will probably be excluded.

The high density equation of state: constraints from accelerators and astrophysics
The nuclear equation of state (EoS) at high densities and/or extreme isospin is one of the longstanding problems of nuclear physics. In the last years substantial progress has been made to constrain the EoS both, from the astrophysical side and from accelerator based experiments. Heavy ion experiments support a soft EoS at moderate densities while the possible existence of high mass neutron sta...
متن کاملProbing the Symmetry Energy with Heavy Ions
Constraints on the EoS for symmetric matter (equal neutron and proton numbers) at suprasaturation densities have been extracted from energetic collisions of heavy ions. Collisions of neutron-deficient and neutron-rich heavy ions now provide initial constraints on the EoS of neutronrich matter at sub-saturation densities. Comparisons are made to other available constraints.
متن کاملThe Nuclear Equation of State at high densities
Ab inito calculations for the nuclear many-body problem make predictions for the density and isospin dependence of the nuclear equation-of-state (EOS) far away from the saturation point of nuclear matter. I compare predictions from microscopic and phenomenological approaches. Constraints on the EOS derived from heavy ion reactions, in particular from subthreshold kaon production, as well as con...
متن کاملModern compact star observations and the quark matter EoS
A hybrid equation of state (EoS) for dense matter is presented that satisfies phenomenological constraints from modern compact star (CS) observations which indicate high maximum masses (M ∼ 2M⊙) and large radii (R > 12 km). The corresponding isospin symmetric EoS is consistent with flow data analyses of heavy-ion collisions. The transition from nuclear to two-flavor color superconducting quark ...
متن کاملProperties of dense matter in a supernova core in the relativistic mean-field theory
We have used the Zimanyi & Moszkowski model in the relativistic mean-field theory to study the properties of asymmetric nuclear matter and the equation of state (EOS) for supernova matter. We find that even though muons are included in the chemical composition of neutron-star matter, this model still results in a small proton concentration so that only themodified Urca process occurs as a main ...
