On the growth of temperature within neutron stars

Abstract

Analytic expressions are obtained that describe the variation of the temperature in the degenerate layers of the shell of a neutron star with electron heat conduction. The relativistic expression is used for the coefficient of thermal conductivity, and a possible crystallization of the ions is taken into account. For a neutron star with solar mass of 1 and radius of 10 km, the central temperature is calculated as a function of luminosity. It is shown that for sufficiently large luminosity the main temperature difference occurs across the layer of degenerate relativistic gas.
