Seminario

Il giorno 12 dicembre alle ore 11 presso la stanza 412, Gregory Vereshchagin (ICRANet) terra' un seminario di Fisca Teorica dal titolo 

Pair luminosity and cooling of newborn strange star

Abstract

It was shown that pair luminosity of the newborn strange star with temperature of 10^11 K may be as high as 10^52 erg/s. The question remains: can a strange star maintain such a high surface temperature for a long time? To answer this question we studied thermal evolution of newborn strange star made of unpaired quarks taking into account its thermal conductivity and neutrino emission by the URCA process. Our results show that extremely high luminosity due to the Schwinger process and insufficient thermal conductivity of quarks leads to development of steep temperature gradient at the surface of strange star. As a result, the temperature at the surface and hence its luminosity decreases, reaching 10^43 erg/s already at 100 seconds. This result holds even in the presence of neutrinosphere.
