Cooling of Color Superconducting Compact Stars

Nuclear Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We review the status of research on the cooling of compact stars, with emphasis on the influence of color superconducting quark matter phases. Although a consistent microscopic approach is not yet available, severe constraints on the phase structure of matter at high densities come from recent mass and cooling observations of compact stars.
