Neutron Stars, Nuclear Decay Energy, Sn 1987A

Scientific paper

In this paper the contributions of various radioactive substances (56Co, 57Co, 44Ti and 22Na) in the envelope of the supernova SN 1987A to the evolution of the bolometric luminosity are calculated and the several types of radiation, which may probably exist in the interior neutron star, as well as their contributions to the bolometric luminosity are investigated. After comparison of the results of calculation with the observation of CTIO and ESO, it is believed that after about 900 days the nuclear decay energy is no longer the unique energy source which determines the bolometric luminosity evolution of SN 1987A, that the radiation coming from the interior neutron star begins to play a dominating role in the bolometric luminosity evolution and that the most important mechanism of radiation of the neutron star is accretion.
