Description
In our work, we use bayesian inference to study how the inclusion of a scalar-isovector interaction channel within a RMF framework can affect the threshold for the direct URCA process in the core of neutron stars. We also study the effect of proton pairing by including a simplified model for the proton 1S0 pairing gap. The results show that the inclusion of the new interaction channel can significantly broaden the distribution of the threshold, allowing for direct URCA even in stars below 2 solar masses.
