We study the magnetic helicity evolution in neutron stars (NSs). First, we analyze how the surface terms affect the conservation law for the sum of the chiral imbalance of the charged particle densities and the density of the magnetic…

We study neutrino emission from the remnant of an inspiraling binary neutron star following coalescence. The mass of the merged remnant is likely to exceed the stability limit of a cold, rotating neutron star. However, the angular momentum…
