Strong proton superconductivity at high densities shuts down nucleon and hyperon direct Urca cooling, making kaon-induced Urca processes dominant and explaining cold massive neutron stars.
Observation of neutron stars at 1000-1200 K could constrain asymmetric dark matter self-interaction cross-sections by two orders of magnitude beyond bullet cluster limits.
