Modern thermodynamically consistent crust models reproduce the observed cooling of MXB 1659-29 and IGR J17480-2446 only if shallow heating and a low-conductivity layer are added, just as traditional models require.

Cooling of neutron stars in soft X-ray transients with realistic crust composition
Modern thermodynamically consistent crust models reproduce the observed cooling of MXB 1659-29 and IGR J17480-2446 only if shallow heating and a low-conductivity layer are added, just as traditional models require.
