We study the shear and bulk viscosity coefficients as well as the thermal conductivity as arising from the collisions among phonons in superfluid neutron stars. We use effective field theory techniques to extract the allowed phonon collisional processes, written as a function of the equation of state of the system.
We analyze the shear viscosity taking into account the contribution of...

The thermomagnetic evolution of the young neutron star in Cassiopea A is studied by considering fast neutrino emission processes. In particular, we consider neutron star models obtained from the equation of state computed in the framework of the Brueckner-Bethe-Goldstone many-body theory and variational methods, and models obtained with the Akmal-Pandharipande-Ravenhall equation of state. It...

I will discuss the recent work on the effects of superfluidity of baryonic and
quark matter on the cooling of compact stars. In particular I will focus on the
effects of (1) pair-breaking processes on the cooling; (2) color superconductivity;
and (3) the problem of the fitting of Cas A data with different
models.

The observations of the central source of Cassiopeia A (Cas A) indicates that the compact star has large mass and high effective temperature, and suggests that its location on the cooling diagram is in the standard cooling region. There are some other compact stars which have low effective temperature, and they require an exotic phase which appears at high density, for large neutrino...
