TL;DR
This paper reviews the theory of neutron-star thermal evolution, focusing on how thermal radiation observations can reveal the states of supranuclear matter inside isolated neutron stars with strong magnetic fields.
Contribution
It provides a comprehensive overview of the thermodynamic and kinetic properties relevant to neutron-star cooling and transport processes, integrating core, crust, and envelope physics.
Findings
Thermal radiation observations can inform about interior states of neutron stars.
The review covers thermodynamic and kinetic properties in different stellar regions.
Strong magnetic fields significantly influence neutron-star thermal evolution.
Abstract
Observations of thermal radiation from neutron stars can potentially provide information about the states of supranuclear matter in the interiors of these stars with the aid of the theory of neutron-star thermal evolution. We review the basics of this theory for isolated neutron stars with strong magnetic fields, including most relevant thermodynamic and kinetic properties in the stellar core, crust, and blanketing envelopes.
