We demonstrate that the high-quality cooling data observed for the young neutron star in the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A over the past 10 years--as well as all other reliably known temperature data of neutron stars--can be comfortably explained within the "nuclear medium cooling" scenario. The cooling rates of this scenario account for medium-modified one-pion exchange in dense matter and polarization effects in the pair-breaking formations of superfluid neutrons and protons. Crucial for the successful description of the observed data is a substantial reduction of the thermal conductivity, resulting from a suppression of both the electron and nucleon contributions to it by medium effects. We also find that possibly in as little as about ten years of continued observation, the data may tell whether or not fast cooling processes are active in this neutron star.

Hybrid stars among mass gap objects are excluded by twin stars at $1.4\,M_\odot$
Mass-gap compact objects could be hybrid stars only with very early deconfinement and stiff quark matter; confirming 1.4 M⊙ twin stars would cap hybrid-star maximum mass below 2.2 M⊙.

Critical endpoint and universality class of neutron $^3P_2$ superfluids in neutron stars
The critical endpoint between two nematic phases of neutron 3P2 superfluids shows critical exponents (α≈0.6, β≈0.4, γ≈0.5, δ≈2.3) that the authors interpret as evidence of a new universality class.
