Measuring the cooling of the neutron star in Cassiopeia A with all Chandra X-ray Observatory detectors
The thermal evolution of young neutron stars (NSs) reflects the neutrino emission properties of their cores. Heinke & Ho (2010) measured a 3.6+/-0.6% decay in the surface temperature of the Cassiopeia A (Cas A) NS between 2000 and 2009, using archival data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory ACIS...
