Figure 64: Neutrino emissivity from the Cooper pair formation mechanism, calculated for strong (uniform) neutron superfluidity with the maximum critical temperature max 10 Tcn = 1.6 × 10 K (a model from [231]). For comparison, Qν from two most efficient other mechanisms, plasmon decay and electron Bremsstrahlung, are also plotted. The smooth composition ground-state crust model of Kaminker et al. [231] is used; it predicts a specific ρn (ρ) in the inner crust. This crust model is described in detail in Appendix B.2 of Haensel et al. [184]). From [428].
