Thermal evolution of neutron stars (NSs) is studied as a probe of physics beyond the standard model. We first review the standard cooling theory of NSs in detail, with an emphasis on the roles of nucleon superfluidity. Then we discuss non-standard evolution with axion and dark matter (DM); axion production enhances the cooling while DM accretion leads to heating of NSs. To evaluate the effect of DM heating, we need to compare it to the rotochemical heating, which is caused by the out-of-equilibrium beta processes in a NS. In the dissertation, we also investigate the rotochemical heating in the presence of both neutron and proton superfluidity.

Measuring the electric dipole moment of the neutron using neutron star spin-down
The thesis derives a conditional 90% limit |d_n| < 4.42e-25 e cm from the spin-down budget of PSR J0437-4715 via an effective magnetic-quadrupole channel, the first astrophysical bound of this kind.

Phonon Gravity, Non-equilibrium QFT, and the Tolman Thermal Equivalence Principle
A variational extension of the Keldysh formalism to spatially varying temperature yields a heat equation and a proposed Tolman thermal equivalence principle linking non-equilibrium flat-space fermions to equilibrium c...
