EOS (Equation of state) gives M-R relation (Bulk properties of neutron stars) Cooling curve (Thermal evolution) (Magnetic evolution) Can microphysics understand or explain these observables ? ・There have been measured various observables about neutron stars , and great progress in observational technique. ・Unfortunately, most of phenomena occurs near the surface , and can provide us with indirect information about interiors of neutron stars, especially the core region, except their bulk properties. ・Among them neutron star cooling can give direct information of properties of matter at high densities through neutrino emission.

Fast cooling vs slow cooling Exotic cooling – Impact of 3C58 3C58 is the remnant of a supernova observed in the year 1181 by Chinese and Japanese astronomers. A long look by Chandra shows that the central pulsar - a rapidly rotating neutron star formed in the supernova event - is surrounded by a bright torus of X-ray emission. An X-ray jet erupts in both directions from the center of the torus, and extends over a distance of a few light years. Further out, an intricate web of X-ray loops can be seen. (NASA,2004) 3C58

V Summary and concluding remarks ・Cooling of neutron stars has provided us with information of high-density matter through the neutrino emission mechanism. ・Surface temperature of some pulsars has already suggested a fast cooling, which may need exotic cooling. ・Recent observation of Cas A may give information of nucleon superfluidity. ・Can we catch an evidence about Quark Matter through cooling of “neutron stars”? ・Simultaneous observation of surface temperature and other observables such as mass, radius … is desired to extract definite conclusions.
