Abstract

This review demonstrates that the neutrino emission from the dense hadronic component in neutron stars is subject to strong modifications due to collective effects in nuclear matter. With the most important in-medium processes incorporated in the cooling code an overall agreement with available soft X ray data can be easily achieved. With these findings so called “standard” and “non-standard” cooling scenarios are replaced by one general “nuclear medium cooling scenario” which relates slow and rapid neutron star coolings to the star masses (interior densities). In-medium effects play an important role also in the early hot stage of the neutron star evolution by decreasing the neutrino opacity for less massive and increasing it for more massive neutron stars. A formalism for the calculation of the neutrino radiation from nuclear matter is presented that treats on equal footing one-nucleon and multiple-nucleon processes as well as reactions with resonance bosons and condensates. The cooling history of neutron stars with quark cores is also discussed.
