Statistical Computation of Thermal Conductivity in Neutron Star Matter 'Pastas'
Guillermo A. Frank

This investigation explores the energy transportation occurring in nuclear star matter, as it undergoes the “topological� transition to the “pasta� regime. We measured the nucleonic thermal conductivity by sampling the energy of nucleons along a well-established heat flux. Our results show that a dramatic change in the conductivity accompanies the “pasta� breakdown. A decoupling phenomenon is also observed for the nucleonic conductivity, depending on the “pasta� topology.
