An EOS-Driven Extension of NSCool for Compact Star Cooling with Hadronic and Quark Degrees of Freedom

RESUMO

We present an EOS-driven extension of the NSCool thermal evolution code that enables complete tabulated equations of state to be treated within a single composition-based input structure. The generalized NEW interface includes additional baryonic fractions, a bosonic composition variable, the hadronic volume fraction, and quark fractions, allowing nucleonic, hyperonic, resonant-baryonic and hybrid hadron-quark configurations to be handled within the same workflow. The neutrino sector is extended accordingly, including updated nucleonic modified Urca and bremsstrahlung rates, additional baryonic direct Urca channels, hyperonic processes, baryonic pair breaking and formation and quark direct Urca, modified Urca, bremsstrahlung and PBF contributions. In mixed phases, emissivities and the corresponding core heat capacity contributions are evaluated from phase-local quantities and combined using the hadronic volume fraction. The implementation is validated against the original NSCool calculation for a controlled nucleonic benchmark and demonstrated with representative hadronic and quark-containing EOSs. These calculations are intended as software validation tests of the generalized workflow rather than as observational fits or statistical EOS inference.
