Direct Urca processes involving singlet proton superfluidity in neutron star cooling
Abstract
A detailed description of the baryon direct Urca processes A: , B: , C: related to the neutron star cooling is given in the relativistic mean field approximation.The contributions of the reactions B and C on the neutrino luminosity are calculated by means of the relativistic expressions of the neutrino energy losses.Our results show that the total neutrino luminosities of the reactions A, B, C within the mass range 1.603-2.067 (1.515-1.840 for TM1 model) for GM1 model are larger than the corresponding values for neutron stars in npe matter. Although the hyperon direct Urca processes B and C reduce the neutrino emissivity of the reaction A, it illustrates the reactions B and C still make the total neutrino luminosity enhancement in the above mentioned areas.Furthermore, when we only consider the proton superfluidity in neutron star cooling, we find that although the neutrino emissivity of the reactions A and B is suppressed with the appearance of proton superfluidity, the total contribution of the reactions A, B, C can still quicken a massive neutron star cooling.These results could be used to help prove appearing hyperons in PSR J1614-2230 and J0348+0432 from neutron star cooling perspective.
