Influence of the pseudoscalar condensate gradient on the cooling regime of compact stars

Аннотация

We consider the processes in compact stars that arise during the potential formation of a pseudoscalar condensate in finite volumes. We do not propose specific hypotheses about the nature of this condensate. Considering that in the regions with a changing pseudoscalar density, photon propagation can be described in the framework of Maxwell–Chern–Simons electrodynamics, we find the reflection/transmission coefficients for regions with different densities. We study the fermion spectrum in the presence of an axial field considering the pseudoscalar condensate gradient. We also study the influence of the modified photon and fermion spectra on the cooling process of compact stars.
