Abstract
AbstractThe effect of magnetic field decay on the chemical heating and thermal evolution of neutron stars is discussed. Our main goal is to study how chemical heating mechanisms and thermal evolution are changed by field decay and how magnetic field decay is modified by the thermal evolution. We show that the effect of chemical heating is suppressed by the star spin-down through decaying magnetic field at a later stage; magnetic field decay is delayed significantly relative to stars cooling without heating mechanisms; compared to typical chemical heating, the decay of the magnetic field can even cause the temperature to turn down at a later stage.
