The quark mean-field model predicts larger crust clusters and a slower direct-Urca cooling phase than the relativistic mean-field model, while both reproduce the observed crustal cooling of the transient KS 1731-260.

abstract
Neutron matter is an intriguing nuclear system with multiple connections to other areas of physics. Considerable progress has been made over the last two decades in exploring the properties of pure neutron fluids. Here we begin by reviewing work done to explore the behavior of very low density neutron matter, which forms a strongly paired superfluid and is thus similar to cold Fermi atoms, though at energy scales differing by many orders of magnitude. We then increase the density, discussing work that ties the study of neutron matter with the determination of the properties of neutron-rich nuclei and neutron-star crusts. After this, we review the impact neutron matter at even higher densities has on the mass-radius relation of neutron stars, thereby making contact with astrophysical observations.

Unified QMF equation of state for neutron star matter: Static and dynamic properties
The quark mean-field model predicts larger crust clusters and a slower direct-Urca cooling phase than the relativistic mean-field model, while both reproduce the observed crustal cooling of the transient KS 1731-260.
