Description
The neo-neutron star (neo-NS) phase directly follows the proto-neutron star (PNS) phase. During the PNS phase, the core of the star forms and acquires its final properties, such as composition and size, whereas the crust forms later during the neo-NS phase. This work is a further development of previous neo-NS studies carried out by one of the authors.
I will present our preliminary results on the cooling of neo-NSs using a fully temperature-dependent equation of state for the entire crust, accounting for the temperature dependence of both pressure and composition in the outer and inner crusts. I will demonstrate the implications of a temperature-dependent composition on the cooling curves and compare various initial luminosity profiles.
