We have calculated cooling models of young neutron stars.3 The theoretical cooling curves for several models are compared with the Einstein X-ray observations of young supernova remnants (Figure 1).

The Crab Nebula pulsar conforms to the model of a rotating magnetised neutron star in the rate of energy generation and the exponent of the rotation law.It is suggested that the main pulse is due to electrons and the precursor to protons. Both must radiate in coherent bunches. Optical and X-ray radiation is by the synchrotron process.The wisps observed in the Nebula may represent the release of an instability storing about 1043 erg and 1047–48 particles.Finally, some considerations are made about the general relation between supernova remnants and rotating neutron stars.

Neutron star cooling calculations are reported which employ improved physics in the calculation of the temperature drop through the atmosphere. The atmosphere microphysics is discussed briefly. The predicted neutron star surface temperatures, in the interesting interval 300 ≤ t (yr) ≤ 105, do not differ appreciably from the earlier results of Van Riper and Lamb (1981) for a non-magnetic star; for a magnetic star, the surface temperature is lower than in the previous work. Comparison with observational limits show that an exotic cooling mechanism such as neutrino emission from a pion-condensate or in the presence of percolating quarks, is not required, unless the existence of a neutron star in the Tycho or SN1006 supernova remnants is established.

For years the theoretical models of neutron star formation and evolution had remained largely unconstrained by observation. Following the Einstein X-ray Observatory surveys of supernova remnants and pulsars, however, strict temperature limits were placed on many putative neutron stars. The Einstein search for additional objects in the class of supernova remnants with embedded pulsars has increased the number of such objects by two. For the four objects in this class, the surface temperature limits (see Table 1) provide meaningful logically sound constraints on the neutron star models. For the future, however, still better X-ray observations are needed, both to increase the number of objects available for study and to refine the spatial and spectral capabilities of the X-ray measurements.

The exciting observational developments in recent years (see Seward, Helfand, Harnden, Becker, etc., in this volume) have made it worthwhile to reexamine neutron star cooling theories. Here we shall give an intermediate report on our work.

The evidence for jets emanating from neutron stars is reviewed. Isolated radio pulsars do not appear to produce collimated outflows. A few supernova remnants, notably the Crab nebula, exhibit jetlike protrusions at their outer boundaries. These are probably "blowouts" of the plasma in the remnant rather than true jets from a neutron star. However, several cases of degenerate stars in X-ray binary systems do make jets. SS433 has twin precessing jets moving outward at v ~ 0.26c, and Sco X-1 has radio lobes with v ~ 0.0001c. Cyg X-3 appears to eject synchrotron plasmoids at high velocities. Other X-ray binaries associated with variable radio sources are discussed; some are interesting candidates for collimated outflow. G109.1-1.0 is an X-ray binary in a supernova remnant that may have radio or X-ray jets. It is not clear in all these cases, however, that the compact object is a neutron star and not a black hole or white dwarf.A tentative conclusion is reached that isolated neutron stars do not produce jets, but degenerate stars in accreting binary systems can. This suggests that the presence of an accretion disk, rather than the characteristics of an isolated pulsar's dipole magnetosphere, is critical in making collimated outflows.
