摘要:

通过耦合二阶模型描述的$\textit{r}$模不稳定性的演化,研究了中子星的热演化.由于$\textit{r}$模的剪切粘性阻尼引起的加热效应,使我们能够理解两个年轻中子星(即,PSR B 0531 +21和RX J 0822 -4300),而且,在可接受的参数范围内,该模型预测的光变曲线可能涵盖了$npe$面板中所有的年轻和中年恒星,而不需要在早期的一些工作中引入人为的强$p$超流性。此外,通过考虑$\textit{r}$模的辐射粘性阻尼,发现了一种令人惊讶的额外冷却效应,这种效应有时甚至超过加热效应,尽管在热历史中起着不可忽视的作用。

英文摘要:

The thermal evolution of neutron stars (NSs) is investigated by coupling with the evolution of $\textit{r}$-mode instability that is described by a second order model.The heating effect due to shear viscous damping of the $\textit{r}$-modes enables us to understand the high temperature of two young pulsars (i.e., PSR B0531+21 and RX J0822-4300) in the framework of the simple $npe$ NS model, without superfluidity or exotic particles.Moreover, the light curves predicted by the model within an acceptable parameter regime may probably cover all of the young and middle-aged pulsars in the $\lg T_s^{\infty}-\lg t$ panel, and an artificially strong $p$ superfluidity invoked in some early works is not needed here. Additionally, by considering the radiative viscous damping of the $\textit{r}$-modes, a surprising extra cooling effect is found, which can even exceed the heating effect sometimes although plays an ignorable role in the thermal history.
